I have a house full of picky eaters, but this recipe still earned an overall 4 star rating from them!!! I cooked the chicken (used 4 thighs) in an electric roaster because my crockpot was too small for the job. I also added 1/3 cup brown sugar, and cooked at 325* for about 1 1/2 hours. Next time I will let the chicken marinate since the roaster cooks more quickly. Lots of flavor and easy to make. When I asked "should I make this again?", I got a unanimous "YES"! Definite keeper!

This was delicious if you like food on the sweeter side. This is a slam dunk. Thanks for the recipe!

Very good and easy to prepare. I used Kraft Catalina with Honey dressing. Was a big hit on New Years day! Thanks Merlot.
