It took me about a week after registering on this site to try out one of the recipes. This was it. I had a feeling I would like it when I saw the name. That feeling grew when I saw the ingredients. I underestimated just how good it would be. This is probably the best chicken recipe I have ever made. It was simple, smelled phenomenal while it was baking, and had a perfect combination of sweet and spicy... one of my favorite flavor combinations. I made one substitution. I used four boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead of the six thighs (which I assumed had bones). I made the sauce just how it was in the recipe... Phenomenal.

I made this with breasts as well. I left the skin on (removing any excess fat) to avoid drying it out too much. It was great. I served it to my family and they all loved it. The left overs were even better the next day. Very easy, quick preparation and looks lovely served with saffron rice and fresh green beans. A great company dish.
