Such a wonderful recipe. It tastes great, is easy to prepare, overall an absolute winner. Slight adjustment in the cinnamon department.

This is a wonderful dish. The entire family adores these lovely spiced chicken bits and I can never cook enough of it. I did change the amount of cinnamon, though, as 2 tablespoons would in my view be too overpowering.
