Absolutely loved the sauce. After marinating the chicken in it all day(about 9 hours), none of the flavor went into the chicken. Next time, I will bake/grill chicken w/o marinating, especially if I forget to plan ahead and want to make it at the last minute. Sauce was GREAT with a couple minor adustments. I used Wondra instead of cornstarch to thicken it up (Wondra is VERY easy to work with--no lumps at all). After adding in flour or cornstarch or Wondra though, the orange flavor gets muted a lot, so I added in a bunch of orange zest (1-2 tbsp I think---until a nice orange aroma comes back) to get some of that flavor back without watering it down again. I used my sauce to cover my chicken and potatoes (or rice) and it was fabulous.....I gave 4 stars because I really enjoyed the sauce!

Well, I have to say that initially, I was excited about this recipe, and honestly, it just didn't "do it" for me. Maybe it was the fact that I used dried chives instead of freash? Dunno. I will say, however, that this is the most tender chicken I have ever made.

Easy, Fast, Impress Company. I needed a quick meal that I could make for company on a worknight, this was perfect. I combined the dry marinade ingredients in a gallon bag the night before so I could just add the chicken, oj, and oil in the morning before work. When I got home it was ready to put in the oven. I followed other reviews and added some cornstarch to some grand mariner to thicken the sauce. Served with wild rice and broccoli sauted with garlic. For dessert I marinated peaches in grand mariner and served over peach frozen yogurt, complimented dinner nicely. Seriously easy meal that looked very impressive on the table.
