Made this according to the recipe and it was nice, but next time I will use more ginger and chilli. I don't think 8 hours was long enough to marinade, next time I'll marinade overnight. Lovely flavours though. - 02 Jan 2014

This was awesome, I will definitely make it again. I mixed the marinade on Sunday and stuck it in the fridge, then Monday morning added it to the chicken, then come dinner time, it was quick and easy to throw it on the bbq. - 02 Mar 2010
