    Tasty roast chicken. Had all the ingredients so that makes it easy. Took the bone out cause I didn’t want to wrestle with it on the plate. Good weekday dinner., but can also envision serving a crowd. Roasted some vegetables alongside. Served w/quinoa.

    Excellent bone-in chicken thighs with pomegranate molasses & spices. I marinated for four hours.

    Good reward for hardly any effort. We both really liked the chicken—it was an unusual but welcome change in flavor profile for us. It would be good served with her orzo rice.

    Easy for a weeknight. I used boneless, skinless thighs and grilled vs. cooking in the oven. Terrific.

    I used boneless skinless chicken thighs and adjusted the cook time. I accidentally overcooked mine but even then, the flavor was good. They were just a bit too tangy for my taste so I probably won't repeat but I appreciated how easy the marinade was to throw together.

    Great recipe, one of our "go to" chicken recipes, quick and easy for a mid-week dinner, pairs really well with a lot of side dishes and salads from the eastern Med.

    This was wonderfully easy, the marinade was exactly the right amount to generously paint eight large thighs, it marinated all afternoon, and cooked exactly in the time suggested. I even ran it under the broiler to crisp the skin, as straight out of the oven it was unappetizing. But my family found this recipe very meh in flavor. It’s true we prefer grilled on braised thighs to baked, but the flavors didn’t permeate very far and my kids objected to the sweetness of the marinade.

    Did it on the grill, worked well. Liked by all.

    This recipe has become a real favorite. I make it often and it is a crowd pleaser at our house. Flexible as you can use various cuts of chicken.

    This was a very flavorful and delicious method of cooking chicken. I marinated the chicken overnight and it had a great amount of flavor. I had chicken pieces that were thigh/breast, so I turned off the oven after 35 minutes and let it finish cooking in the hot oven.

    Made this as directed. Very flavorful, simple to make, just needs a bit of planning for the marinade. I think next time, I would add the oil directly to the marinade, because I'm forgetful, and I forgot to drizzle it until halfway through cooking, resulting in less crispy skin than desired- my own fault! I will definitely make this again.

    I halved the chicken, but not the marinade. Very easy and flavorful with just a few ingredients, but do remember to allow the 3 hrs to marinate.
