I just found this recipe on line and had to make it! WOW! Excellent marinade. I used a combo of fresh thyme, parsley and basil as this is what I have on the deck. The chicken was moist and the onions were delish! Will make again. I had a bit of leftover chicken and it made a great sandwich for lunch.
