Yum! Yum! So sweet fully delicious! I can eat this as is! I used chicken breast here and they came out so tender and moist. I basted the chicken with the marinade and drippings and also used ground cashews here. Keeper~! Thanks! Made for WZT4.

Oh, wow. This is so, so good. Maple syrup and lemon may sound strange, but it's such a perfect combination. The drippings in the bottom of the pan made a really nice gravy, too. Loved every bite.

Okay, this chicken is REALLY good! I used my crock pot, but left the ingredients the same. I cooked the chicken on high for 4 hours and basted it here and there while it was cooking. It was very yummy. Made for ZWT 4 - crock pot challenge.
