    We have made this twice now. Important to save marinade to swipe on chicken as turned. We love this recipe

    Quite good - I used an oven roast, then quick broil approach similar to babyfork. Also added pineapple chunks. (Note to self - don’t go too heavy on ginger.)

    This is amazing. Don’t forget the extra marinade to pour over the chicken. I will make this again. Also, marinate it a long time

    Tasty marinade. Will repeat.

    The chicken marinated 6 hours, but was still really flavorful. We loved it.

    Great grilled chicken recipe! I made it last night and am already planning for when I can make it again. It will go into my rotation of tasty grilled chicken thigh recipes (the other leader on that list is the Grilled Chicken from "Into the Vietnamese Chicken").

    Made this for my daughter's sweet sixteen socially distanced tropical-themed pool party. It was a hit! I marinaded overnight. Since I was running the show all by myself and didn't want to man the grill, I baked the chicken at 450 for about 25 minutes. Then broiled for a few minutes more. Oh, and I scattered some fresh pineapple chunks over the chicken before putting it in the oven. I simmered the reserved sauce for a bit until it thickened while the chicken was in the oven. Drizzled with the sauce. Yum! Really good and kid-friendly.

    This is the easiest bbq chicken ever! We were rushed and only let it marinade about an hour, but it was still really tasty. Will plan ahead next time for the full 8 hour marinade time.
