Chicken With Orange-Chipotle Glaze

loof's Note:

This yummy chicken can be grilled or broiled. I use boneless, skinless breasts but thighs or legs could probably be used too...

Very good. Not quite as flavorful as I'd hoped, but a nice way to use up extra chipotles. Made with corm & white rice.

This is a great sweet/heat recipe. I topped the chicken with peppers, onions, and mushrooms for dinner. I can also see this shredded and used in tacos. Very nice recipe, thanks for sharing.

I knew i would like this, but I liked it even more than I imagined. I only used half the amount of chipotle because I am a heat whimp, but otherwise I left the ingredients alone. I broiled boneless breasts and thighs in the oven. Of course the thighs were done first , so I pulled them out first. The sauce clung nicely to the meat and didn't all run off, even after I flipped the chicken pieces. I am absolutely hanging on to this one.
