Super-easy to make. You can approximate the ingredients and it still turns out, the paste/marinade just needs to be spreadable and enough to cover both sides. I've used dried as well as fresh oregano with little difference, and since I'm a garlic head I've doubled the amount of garlic. It always comes out delicious and gets rave reviews. I can't emphasize how easy it is and finger-licking tasty. Much better than using a globby BBQ sauce!06/03/07
