EXCELLENT! This recipe delivers big in the "something different" category. Yet is safe enough for finicky eaters and not so overpowering for the faint hearted who shy away from spicy foods. Don't hesitate, add it to your cookbook now. Just prepared this meal for some friends. No leftovers. I used HEB - a grocery store chain in Texas - Preseasoned Thighs for Fajitas (mainly because they were already in the freezer). The Subtle fajita seasonings blended exceptionally well with this recipe. I recommend it. -
This was very easy and was well received. I used boneless chicken breasts, cut up into 'thigh-sized' pieces so there was more flavor on each bite! I prepped the night before and put chicken and sauce in a ziplock bag to marinate overnight in the fridge. Based on my timing for dinner (wanting to take a shower whlle chicken was cooking!) I cooked at 350 for 35 minutes... which was almost too long enough for my smaller pieces of breast meat. I served with french fries and Lemon and garlic spinach. Recipe #84325

The thighs cooked fine but I did not care for the sauce. The chili powder added spiciness but I don't think it fit well with the BBQ. However these cook at just the right temperature and timing to throw some olive oil coated potato cubes for roasting. -
I am not going to rate this as I must have done something wrong. I mean nearly 20 other people loved this. Like another reviewer, my sauce was charred black. The parts that weren't dry or burnt had a nice flavor. I may try again after buying an oven thermometer. -
I used thighs and legs and really enjoyed it. I don't find chile powder spicy at all so I mixed in about a 1/4 tsp. of cayenne pepper and found that I still need to increase the amount to suit my tastes. Thank you for a very simple to prepare recipe.

This was a wonderful dish! I used boneless chicken thighs, and they were so juicy! I used 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning salt instead of salt. It added a nice flavor. I used my husband's favorite barbecue sauce, mesquite flavored Bill Johnson's. I served this with my sour cream cheesy mashed potatoes and corn. We all loved it! I'll definitely make this again. Thanks!

I'm a small animal veterinary technician working full time. In my spare (?) time I love to bake and cook. I have about 80 different cookbooks and I guess my favorite ones are those that involve CHOCOLATE!!

<br>My biggest 'pet' peeve is people who treat their dogs and cats like disposable products...look after the health and well-being of your pets, PLEASE! They depend on you! ('Nuff said!).

<br>June 2003 Update: I now work part-time as a vet tech and part-time as an ER ward clerk at a local hospital. After being a technician for 20 years, the emotional stress was getting too hard to handle. Putting an older pet to sleep after I'd watched them grow up over the years was something I could no longer do. I decided to look for a new job while I was still 40-something rather than wait 4 years when I was 50-something! Working with animals is in my blood however, so I could not give it up entirely.
