Cooking notes:
- all the comments that I read said the longer this marinated, the better it was so I did mine overnight. It was definitely flavourful and moist. (Edited to add: Just because Rhonda asked - the marinade was a combination of barbecue sauce, honey, mayonnaise, garlic and ginger. The mayo was the unusual ingredient.)
- For only 2 people, I don't start our gas barbecue very often so I baked these in the oven for 45 minutes and then finished them on the countertop grill. Next time I will do them on the barbecue! The oven baking resulted in more of a poached product and the glaze didn't turn crispy and golden. Putting them on the grill helped a bit but they were probably a bit overdone.
- I would use chicken thighs next time because they don't get so dry if they are slightly overdone.
- The marinade was an interesting combination of ingredients but you don't get to taste it as a sauce, which is what I prefer.
- This was an okay recipe - no problems but I don't think I'd rush to make it again. The life of a test kitchen cook!

There are always those recipes that work and those that don't. I remember making a salad last year when one of Tyler's friends came over and I didn't taste it before we ate. Yuck! It was awful. The two boys ate it and didn't really complain but I couldn't finish it. I guess it's important to taste before you serve. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm eager to check out the next challenge. It sounds delicious.
ooh I'm excited about the next one too!! I'm curious what was in the marinade.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it's always hit and miss when trying something new but it's totally worth it when you get a good one!
