i used boneless skinless chicken breasts, i made 6, reduced cooking time to 30 minutes at 425 , used cayenne instead of red pepper/ everyone liked it better than my usual version:)

This recipe was OUTSTANDING! We used chicken tenderloins instead of a thihgs/legs and omitted the butter (dietary restrictions), and could not have been happier. This is an amazing combination of tastes and spices. I have had it twice in the last five days and would have been happy having it the other three days as well. Thank you for sharing this gem.

Excellent! I used 6 chicken legs and 4 thighs--there was plenty of sauce for all that. Next time I will probably use much less butter since it gets drained off after baking anyway. Seemed like a slightly sweet/spicy Asian type dish. It's a keeper.
