Outstanding!!! DO use low sodium soy sauce or it will be salty (or cut it with a bit of water..same result and cheaper) This recipe is perfect for "once a month cooking". I added the marinade to a zip lock bag with boneless chicken thighs...flattened it and froze it for 1 month. For a quick thaw, put it in a sink with tempid water for 30 minutes. I would do this one again!10/21/08

Great marinade, and the chicken was very tender. I made the marinade the night before to save time so I could put the chicken in the bag as soon as I got home from work the next day. Since some reviewers thought it was salty I used lower sodium soy sauce and omitted the salt, it was just right. Served with steamed snap peas and rice. Husband loved it, will make again and would serve to company.10/13/08
