Made as written and chose to grill. These were excellent. Tender, moist, and full of flavor. I let them marinate for 11 hours while I was away at work. Perfect!
Shelby Miller
I made this last night. marinaded for 6 hrs. Next time I’m going to poke the chicken and marinade overnight to get more flavor inside the chicken. It was good though.
Erika Davis
My own fault 3stars, only marinated for 2 hrs so pretty bland. I am sure it would have been better if I had FOLLOWED THE DIRECTIONS!!
Lisa Clark
Just found it to be OK, nothing special about the taste or flavor.
Deborah Hobbs
Great Simple recipe. The volume of sauce covers 5 whole chicken breasts as s marinade to grill. I made it a second time as a flavoring for pulled chicken and only uses 3T Worcestershire sauce an 2T of lemon juice. Easy and loved by all.
Debra Allen
Gets a 2 thumbs up.

This recipe gave me an IDEA. I made the marinade with garlic powder, some Worcestershire sauce and some Raw apple cider vinegar (Bragg`s), poked the chicken breast with a sharp fork and let it set while everything else cooked….. YUM, YUM!!

Taste the marinade after adding a little of the lemon juice. After adding a little more lemon juice (if you do), taste again. Stir it all up and taste it. To make sure there isn’t too much lemon, taste the marinade. Especially right before you add the chicken, taste. I neglected to taste the marinade before putting the chicken in. If I had, I would have found out how strong my lemon juice was and made more marinade, and the lemon would not have overpowered my chicken. It smelled delicious, though.

I thought this recipe was very good. The only thing I changed was I squeezed two lemons into the marinade instead of using the cup of lemon juice as directed. My family enjoyed it as well. Thank you for posting.

This turned out great. I put my chicken on skewers with sweet peppers, and barbecued it. Totally amazing taste.
Michael Adams
Took the advice of other readers and used 1/3 cup of oil, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce – it was plenty to cover four large boneless breasts. I added some fresh cilantro and these were awesome – very moist and lots of flavor. The second time I made them I used lime juice instead of lemon. Hubby didn’t like the lime (I thought it was great!) but we both agree this is a winner for a fast, easy and very good chicken recipe.

I reduced all liquids to 1/4 each. I’d make this again, but I would definitely make some adjustments. Fresh garlic, fresh ground black pepper, salt. The end result just seemed to be missing something.

My husband and I are not a fan of this recipe.
Patrick Williams
If you love Worcestershire sauce, you will love this because that’s all you really taste. The marinade is way too much. I only used 1/4 cup of each. A budget friendly meal for sure.
Terry Williamson
I substituted 1/2 lemon sliced and 2 cloves of garlic pressed in place of the juice and powder. Marinated overnight. Baked in oven at 350 for.. oh a while. Not bad but seemed to be missing something. The marinade just wasn’t as strong as I thought it would be.
Morgan Smith
I only marinated it for 30 mins as I was late in doing this, but it was still good. The Worcestershire sauce was very overpowering. The next time I make it i may 1/2 it with water.
Shirley Meyers
This received mixed reviews from my family. 3 stars because my 5 year old liked it. I took one bite and my older son and daughter didn’t like it. Don’t think I will even try to tweek the recipe to make again.
Shawn Robinson
I think it would be a lot better if there was only a tablespoon or 2 instead of half of a cup. The chicken actually tasted sour.
Stephanie Miller
I followed this recipe exactly, and it was a huge hit with my family. They loved how juicy it was. The marinade smells very pungent, but once the chicken cooks it tastes and smells wonderful.
Evelyn Alvarez
It was too tangy for me and my husband. I even cut down liquids to 1/3 cup.
Rachel Farrell
Delicious! I used olive oil for a healthier option, but it still tasted wonderful. Perfect amount of kick. We grilled the chicken, and I used leftovers for a sandwich the following day. It was lovely.
