This recipe was ok, but I will probably not make it again. Very easy to prepare and the cook time for the chicken was right on. The chicken itself was flavorful with the spices and seasoned breadcrumbs, but the sauce was just way to sweet for my tastes. I love anything with curry in it and think the lemon based sauce has potential but the sugar needs cut way back for me. Also, when you pour the sauce over the chicken and continue baking, it takes away from the crispiness of the coating. I'd serve it on the side.
