For a sweeter flavor, add a tablespoon of honey or brown sugar to the marinade. If you don't have fresh cilantro, dried cilantro can be used, but fresh is recommended for the best flavor. The marinade can also be used for other cuts of chicken, such as breasts or drumsticks. Adjust cooking times accordingly. To reduce the sodium content, use low-sodium soy sauce.
