I recommend doubling the recipe so you have more sauce.

This recipe was wonderful! I doubled the amount of sauce, added 2 tbsp apricot preserves and simmered in the crock pot for 2 hours. My friends all loved it and I'll be making it many many times over. Sweet and yummy!!!

Simple easy, quick & delicious what more can you ask from a recipe. I agree with the comments that a bit more sauce would be nice and as I did not want to add more sugar I added 4 tbsp vodka to the sugar mixture and baked them at a lower temperature (to co-ordinate the timing with the other dishes I was baking) then finished them under the broiler, beautiful carmelized color. I also added more garlic (personal preference). I served the chicken with baked potatoes stuffed with sundried tomatoes and Feta cheese, new carrots and baked baby onions and a small green salad - wonderful Sunday dinner - Thanks Dancer for another great recipe

Although I didn't eat this since I'm a vegetarian, I made it for my husband and he loved it -- he gives it 5 stars. I doubled the olive oil, garlic, and brown sugar as suggested by others.

I used this recipe to make 2 servings but kept the amount of ingredients other than chicken the same and added the vodka recommended in one of the other reviews. The garlic got very brown very quickly in the pan and burnt a bit when the dish was in the oven, but we scraped the worst of it off and the dish was otherwise very good. The sauce was tasty and the chicken, cooked at such a high temperature remained very moist.
