What can use in place of the wine?

Good afternoon! You can use chicken broth in place of wine and this recipe will be delicious!

ditch the rosemary parsley and lemon zest.. add 1 teaspoon oregano and juice of at least 1/2 lemon or more double the minced ..use a fork to penetrate the meat then marinate at least an hour very good!

A word was left out it was meant to say "double the minced garlic"

Many years ago, when I worked in Venezuela. I had an exchange student staying with me for a few days. I was out of the apartment and he answered the phone and took a message. When I returned, there was this message from "Osamara" and I was to call because it was urgent. The problem was, I had no clue who "Osamara" could be. It turned out to be my friend and associate ...Rosemary. In her honor, and his I renamed and reimagined my "old" Rosemary chicken recipe. Enjoy, be healthy, be Decadent Ward Alper, THE Decadent Diabetic

What does Osomara mean? thank you!
