This is one of my favorite recipes for grilling chicken. I first used this recipe about 6 yrs ago and I have used it over and over again! The marinade is just amazing and gives makes the meat tender, juicy, and gives it an amazing red color. I usually double this recipe. Perfect for summer bbq's. Enjoy!
