im giving this a four as we had to alter it, which i decided to do based on the reviews. I prepped it all the night before, place hand full of fresh cilantro, 4 or so cloves of garlic and minced together, put in with 1 bottle of beer, some extra lime juice, italian seasoning, and cayenne, salt and pepper and honey. the only thing i would change again is more lime, maybe some lemon juice, more cayenne, some crushed red pepper, and a tablespoon or 2 of italian dressing. i marinated mine over night and they grilled perfect on low and came out super moist. over all a good starter recipe, but add your own twists like we did!

I thought it was great although it would have been better if it were simmered in the mixture in a pan on the stove.

Great basic recipe that can be easily added onto and made into something special. I'm a university student so I used what beer i had available, a dark hemp beer, plus I had some veggies that were getting a little old so I threw those in too. I cut the chicken into chunks so it would cook faster, and threw it all into a pan and sauteed it. Then I served it over rice, absolutely loved it. Great recipe!

I read all reviews that claimed this bland, so I changed the cooking method. Instead of grilling, I cooked it on the stove top in the marinade on high for a few minutes each side to start carmelizing the honey, then put a lid on and simmered. I used a belgium beer (it was sweeter) I served it with the cilantro on top as a garnish. The presentation was great and taste also. However, I can agree that if this was grilled, it would not retain much flavor and would be bland

I should have listened to the others when they said that it didn't have a ton of flavor. I used it on pork steaks instead of chicken, and I don't think it would have mattered. It was tasted just fine, but not that great if you are looking for something with a lot of flavor.

This was great and easy to make. I think next time I might use 2 limes for a little extra lime flavor but even as is tasted great.

This was a good recipe, but I added about 3 cloves of minced garlic to the marinade because we love the flavoring it adds. You can taste the ale even after it is grilled, which adds to the flavor. I served this up with pasta salad and garlic bread. Yummy!
