Easy as it could be
Crazy easy recipe. The only change I'd make would be to cut the salt by half.
Pros: easy, delicious
Cons: too much salt

Excellent and easy
A really excellent marinade. It's incredibly easy to make, and delicious. I use local, pastured, organic chicken, which has a more natural flavor than mass-produced chicken, so the marinade was a little overpowering. Next time, I'll just marinade it during the day rather than overnight.
Pros: easy, flavorful
Cons: can overpower mild flavors
