I REALLY wanted to love this recipe, and I was so excited to make it~~what a disappointment. Frankly, I'm mystified by all the rave reviews. I followed the marinade recipe to the letter and used some of the method tips from other reviewers: doubled the marinade; marinated chicken and mushrooms separately and overnight to insure flavorful chicken (or so I'd hoped); used regular bacon for balanced barbecuing; cooked on medium heat to avoid dryness. My result~~delicious mushrooms, but the chicken, while tender, was totally devoid of flavor. Even the bacon flavor was missing. If I use this again (and at this point, that's a big "if"), I'll definitely follow the advice of others and add garlic and possibly ginger to the marinade. Also, the recipe cries out for fresh pineapple; the canned pineapple chunks ended up shriveled and puny and were practically an unnoticeable addition. Unfortunately, my guests and I found this recipe rather forgettable.
