YUM, YUM, YUM!!!!!!! Wanted to bake this as others did but lost track of time and sautee'd in a skillet as stated instead. What fabulous flavor! I increased the garlic but kept the rest as stated and it was SO tasty! Definitely a must try!

    I'm torn on how to review this recipe. I hate when people "review" a recipe but have changed it up so much but I want to give credit as well. I brined thighs and legs in a basic brine with added lemon and garlic. I then marinaded it in this marinade. Instead of baking it I grilled it and continued basting it in some reserved marinade. HOLY CAT! There were about 20 people at our party and they went through 40 lbs of legs and thighs. It was delicious! Thank you for the marinade. I served it with pasta salad, fruit salad, garlic bread, broccoli salad and LOTS of beer. YUMMY!

    WOW...how easy was this. Instead of cooking it in a skillet, I just left it in my glass casserole dish that I had been marinating in, sealed it tightly with foil and baked in the oven. Moist and delicious. Even my DH (who has a SERIOUS aversion to chicken in ANY way) commented on how juicy and tasty it was. Definately a keeper and I making again tomorrow night...teehee! Thanks so much for posting!!!

    Great, easy, and flavorful! I also chose to leave my chicken in the dish it was marinading and just bake it. I had to guess quite a bit on the time and temp since I am not too experienced. I ended up baking it at 350 for about 45 minutes, covered, then I uncovered it and baked it for about 20 min more. I added some bread crumbs to the top before baking which crisped nicely! The chicken was very moist and tender and the flavor was light but plenty (and I like flavor)! Wonderful recipe, thank you for posting Bergy!
