I can't believe that no one has tried this recipe yet. I made as written with the exception of doubling the hot sauce and adding about 2 tablespoons honey to the marinade. I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs and marinated them overnight. I was rewarded with extremely flavorful, juicy, tender chicken. It doesn't get much easier than this. I will be making this recipe often during the grilling season. Mad for My-3-Chefs June 2012.
