βHi Nagi, this was delicious! It was such an easy meal to prepare. I just marinated the chicken early in the morning, stuck it in the fridge and then at supper, my husband quickly barbecued the chicken, while I cooked the veggies. Everything turned out great!β β a cook, 5.0β
βThis marinade was excellent. I marinated the thighs for about 4 hours and I was slightly concerned that the acid would cook the outside of the chicken but it was perfect. It was also so easy to prep out ahead of time and everything came together on the grill iβ β a cook, 5.0β
