We liked it a lot. It was really moist and had a lot of flavor. The only thing that was iffy for me was the amount of ginger. It was really strong! We'll make it again, but definitely with less ginger.

7/20/2011 01:11:23 AM Report AbuseI loved this recipe but did make a few changes to up the flavor and decrease the calories. I used 4 (instead of 8) boneless, skinless chicken thighs and applied the lemon peel/ginger mixture to both sides and let sit in the fridge for a couple of hours. I then baked them at 350 degrees for 20 minutes before adding the lemon juice mixture and broiling on high for the last 10-15 minutes to give them good color. It was a huge hit with everyone we served it to.
