- JaneStarr's method to make this "freezer friendly":
- Cut 2 chicken breasts each into 8 slices, and place in freezer weight Zip-lock bag. Pour marinade into bag and seal well. Freeze. Thaw in refrigerator overnight. Chicken will marinate as it thaws. Broil (or possibly grill) as above being sure to thoroughly cook after last basting.
