So easy and so delicious! I also used fresh mint since I had it on hand for another recipe. The only thing I would do differently would be to use a little less of the mixture to marinate (ours marinated about 24 hours - yum!) so that I could have some of it on the side instead of having to toss out as much once taking the chicken out of the bag. (In fact, now I typically keep half of the sauce aside - still plenty to marinade.) This is because that sauce? Is to die for! Cooking time was just perfect, too, and the chicken came out moist, tender, juicy and flavorful. I served this with couscous and Lebanese Lentil Salad . (Update: also excellent with Lemony Black-Eyed Pea and Cilantro Salad.) Thank you for a great keeper that I've now made over and over and always love it!

I made this recipe while living on an organic farm in Hawaii. The owners gave us chicken thighs to cook and I had no clue what to do with them, since I don't typically prefer chicken thighs. I came across this recipe and found it to be the BEST chicken dish I have ever eaten in all of my life!!! The only adjustment I made to the recipe was to use fresh mint, since it was available. This is an amazing recipe. Thank you!

Used boneless chicken thighs. Weight approx 1.45 lbs. While chicken cooking in oven, wife remarked about the delectable aroma. Only had time to marinate for an hour instead of longer. Still, the Turkish chicken thighs were delicious. The marinade proportions were perfect to cover the chicken thighs. Thanks so much for the healthy recipe!

If you haven't tried this yet Carianne, do! It was great! I had a big party on Friday (well, big for a dinner party!) and marinated the chicken for about 12 hours b4. The chicken was so good!!! One of my friends called me the next a.m. wanting the ingredients to make it again that night. The only thing i did different was to cook it on the bbq. We'll be making this a lot this summer! Thanks!
