I followed the recipe exactly and wanted dissapointed in the amount of flavor. I was expected something a little more bold. A little garlic salt on the finished product helped a great deal, but I think I might work in a bit more spice in the original recipe if I made it again.

This wasn't my favorite dish. I thought that it smelled worse than it tasted. My husband thought it smelled wonderful though. We liked the chicken but we didn't like the sauce enough to eat it with rice.

Very easy dish to put together and has tons of flavor, I did increase the garlic, but I will cut down the lemon juice a tad next time I make it. This was absolutey delicious served with rice, and a dish that I will make again, we really enjoyed this for dinner Leslie, thanx for posting this wonderful recipe!...Kitten

Yummy! I think next time I would follow kittencalls advice and reduce the amount of lemonjuice a bit, or maybe my lemon just was too large. Taste as you go, so the lemon wouldn't overpower the gentle flavor of honey. More garlic wouldn't go wrong either. I might also try adding little heat with harissa, instead of basil, as it is African dish, after all. Or just serve it with some couscous with harissa in it, maybe. This made my imagination fly, anyway. Great recipe with possibilities.
