    This was very easy and it was a good dish. The chicken has a sweet, sticky, soy and lime glaze. I think it would be nice with some ginger added. While I liked this, it probably will not be a repeat for me as there are other easy chicken recipes with Asian flavors that I prefer.

    This was indeed tasty, fast and easy. I marinated bone in legs, thighs, wings and backs for about an hour before baking. I baked them on a sheet pan per Hillsboroks's comment, but still had difficulty getting the marinade to evaporate to get a good glaze on the chicken. I upped the temperature toward the end of the cooking and that helped quite a bit.

    Fabulous flavor and nice change of pace for chicken. Like Christine I too used boneless, skinless thighs. I was cooking for a group of 9 so I doubled the marinade recipe and left the chicken thighs in the marinade for about 1 1/2 hours but next time I might leave it in for 2 or 2 1/2 hours to see if the flavor is more developed. Very simple to make ahead for a dinner party. Just take the chicken out of the marinade and bake for 1/2 hour before the guests arrive. I did 20 thighs in two large pans and only had two left over. I received lots of compliments and requests for the recipe. I baked them in Corning Ware low roaster pans but next time I might try them on metal sheet pans because the marinade and chicken juices didn't evaporate as much as I thought they would and I would like more of a glaze on the chicken.

    My new favorite marinade for chicken. Really nice flavor and since the chicken just bakes in the oven after marinating, it is very simple to prepare. Only needed 30 minutes to cook because I used boneless thighs. Only other substitution was 1/4 tsp dried thyme since I didn't have any fresh. Served with roasted potatoes/sweet potatoes and a salad or vegetable.
