We loved this! I was a little scared, but it was just the right amount of spice and sweet. It went great with mashed potatoes and green beans. I doubled the recipe for a family pack of boneless chicken thighs, although in the end I don't think it was necessary. I didn't have lime juice so used lemon juice (2T = 1 lime or lemon). Didn't have white wine so since I doubled I used one T red wine vinegar and 1 T white wine vinegar. Didn't have so I didn't use chipotle chile and cayenne pepper. Per other reviews I omitted the cinnamon and I'm glad I did, I think it would have contradicted the other flavors. I marinated for only 4 hours, but I used a meat tenderizer so it turned out fantastic. Loved the recipe for a new twist on chicken that will go in our rotation, thanks so much!

I used this recipe to make the marinade for some pork shoulder steaks I wanted to make. I was looking for a marinade that I could make myself and not have to open the stand-by Mojo Sauce I sometimes use. The results were better than I had hoped for! As this recipe is written for chicken, I hesitated for a minute to make it, but I am so glad that I did. I made this exactly as written and wouldn't chage a thing. THIS is my NEW stand-by!!!!!

OK recipe. Lots of ingredients. I omitted the cinnamon and also the chipotle chilli powder as it was $7.65 for a small bottle. I subbed more regular chilli powder. I also did what another reviewer suggested and baked it with the marinade on it. The chicken was cooked perfectly, but it probably would have been better if it had been marinated for the proper time, then cooked. Also, I think I would cut back on the ingredients if I make this again. Of all the massive amounts of ingredients, only the chili powder really stood out. It doesn't seem like all these ingredients are really needed.

For the insane amount of items in this recipe, it had very little flavor. Followed exactly, using all the ingredients, and was actually really disappointed at how boring the chicken was. Probably won't make this again.

This was simple to make and well liked by my family. Cut down on the chili powder a bit as my younger daughter does no like spicy food. Thanks!

i have to say, i really liked this a lot. i am not put off by the cinnamon in this as others have said. i didn't use as much honey, as i hate the way it burns on the grill. so, i used about 1/8 cup along w/1 pkg of truvia. i also used indian chili powder so i omitted the chipoltle chili powder and cayenne pepper. i so did not use OJ (didn't have any) but my lime was pretty juicy. i did use all of the other spices called for. this was a very good marinade and will use it again. thanks for the post lily's mama!

AMAZING. No, seriously. AMAZING. I was in classic what-ingredients-do-I-have-on-hand mode + searched allrecipes with just a couple of those, so I didn't quite follow the recipe completely: I had to omit the lime and orange juice, but used the juice of 1.5 lemons (nearly 1/4 cup), and white wine vinegar in place of red wine vinegar. While I had salt, pepper, onion + garlic powder, and cumin on hand, I subbed in 3T of Mrs. Dash's southwest/chipotle blend for the rest -- lots of similar spices, and my rough calculation of what all those other spices added up to. I only had 2 large chicken breasts, pounded those down; marinated them for 2 hours maybe?; and grilled for 7 minutes each side at 350-400 degrees. AWESOME.
