I took the advise of others and switched the orange juice and soy sauce amounts around and added 1/8 teaspoon of chili spice. My husband thought it was just ok.

This dish did not end up tasting how I hoped it would. It really tasted more like orange juice than the orange-soy-ginger-garlic flavour I anticipated, similar to a take-out dish. I will likely try this recipe again and add more ginger than I did(I used less than the recipe called for). But so far, not as impressed with the taste as I had hoped.

Like others, I increase the OJ & reduced the soy sauce. I also omitted the raisins. My children loved it. My husband thought it was a little sweet. I will probaly make only whe we want something different.

I will next time adjust the soy sauce amount since my husband and I were unable to taste the orange flavor due to the overwhelming amount of soy sauce.

I like so many others switched the oj and soy sauce amounts. I also added a little bit of garlic chili paste to spice it up a bit. I was really disappointed with the dish, had higher expectations...That being said, it wasn't terrible, but i do think it would have been much better if marinated and then grilled. (cooking it in the oven i think was the killer for me) the marinade tasted good and even smelled wonderful cooking, but the overall end result...disappointing.

Let me start off by saying I made a few changes to the recipes per all the reviews saying the same thing, thats why its a 4 instead of a 5. Made the marinade in the morning when I had a momeny- so it got the chance to marinade for about 7 hours instead of only 2-3. Switched the soy sauce and OJ ammounts, added some orange zest and used honey instead of sugar. Also used extra garlic ('cause I LOVE GARLIC!). I am not a big fan of raisins so I put them in the marinade but took them out before cooking. It came out delicious!!! Served over rice with green beans on the side! My PICKY boy ate it up! YUM! Thanks!

This tasted really good! I wasn't keen on the raisins when looking at the recipe, but really liked the taste and texture with each bite. The kids liked it too. Mine didn't get as dark as in the picture, but got darker the more I basted.

Great for this season when fresh oranges are so plentiful. Like many others, I flip-flopped the oj and soy sauce. Also substituted honey for the white sugar the second time I made it. The sauce seemed to stand up better.

We really enjoyed this chicken! As others suggested, I reduced the soy sauce and increased the orange juice. (Actually, I used orange/pinapple juice and it worked just fine.) I also added a few drops of hot sauce to the marinade for extra flavor. I set the chicken up to marinate in the AM and turned it a few times during the day.. So, it probably marinated more like 6 - 7 hours. Anyway, the chicken was very tender and tasty. Thanks for the recipe, Amanda!

This recipe was pretty good, not sensational, but tasty none the less. I did switch the OJ and soy amounts, as many other reviewers suggested, definately a wise move. I was very glad that it didn't turn out looking like the picture!

We enjoyed this chicken. I switched the soy and orange juice amounts as recommended and found it to be quite orangey. I will probably add some more garlic next time and use fresh ginger. I might also mix in some cornstarch to thicken the sauce. I loved the flavor of the raisins though if you're not a raisin fan they can definitely be left out. Also might be a good marinade for the grill (without the raisins).

Loved this marinade, Didn't use raisins and it still turned out great!!! Only complaint is I would use a bone in chicken or increase the marinade volume next time. Thanks!

Very tasty, but a tad too salty. I excluded the raisins. And instead of OJ, I pureed 2 whole oranges, zest and all. It made the orange flavor intense!

Delicious! Per other reviews, I switched the orange juice and soy sauce amounts and added a bit of chili powder. The sauce was pretty liquidy which was great when served over rice, but maybe next time I'll try adding a tiny dash of cornstarch to help the sauce stick to the chicken better.
