  1. Absolutely wonderful! I love Cooking Light recipes and this was amazing. One cup chili sauce is very close to a 12 oz. bottle, so next time I won't measure. Used buckwheat honey, which gives a strong distinctive flavor which I highly recommend. Am sure molasses would be good, too, but a different flavor. Reserved about 2/3 cup sauce and even so had more than enough marinade for 6 medium-sized chicken breasts. Next time I'd use 8. Marinated for about 6 hours, grilled, and had the most wonderful tender juicy chicken imaginable. A little spicy but all of my children ate and enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a former retail management slave who is now a stay at home mom who absolutely loves her job. I have an eight year old, a two year old and a nine month old who all bring their own kind of joy to my life. My favorite thing in the world is to cook. We have a real, from scratch family dinner almost every night. Please don't be offended if I somewhat change a recipe in my review. I look at recipes sort of as guidelines, and alter them according to inspiration. I've received alot of helpful advice from reviews, that's why I share what I've done differently. With my little ones I'm pretty busy, but I LOVE this site and plan on being even more active as they get older.
