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 Read More
