Very unique, VERY GOOD. Thanks for the inventive new twist on chicken. The whole family loved this, and that is a feat in itself. Thanks.

I'm so glad that you shared this delicious recipe. The chicken was moist, tender, and so flavourful, glazed in caramelized maple syrup YUMMY! This was excellant. I will be making this often.
