This recipe is a fresh change on an old favorite. This chicken has a lovely sticky glaze all over it and was raved about my guests at a recent party my husband and I threw. If I remember correctly no less than half a dozen people asked me for the recipe. The marinade is obviously the key and is so versatile you can use it with a variety of chicken dishes. Unlike many marinades you can actually taste it on the chicken even when it is grilled. Next week I am going to give this a try on some chicken kebabs I have been wanting to make for ages.
