This was okay, but my family did not really think it was anything special. Cooked up nice, I let the chicken marinate all day. Next time, I think I would add a little ketchup to the sauce. I thought it was a little on the sour side.

Really good dish. I didn't have enough time to marinate, so I just put the chicken in a dish, poured the marinade over and baked for 20 minutes covered in foil. After 20 min, uncovered, basted and baked additional 20 min basting until done.

This was a delicious recipe Michele, thank you so much for sharing. My dh & I really enjoyed these tender, juicy, flavorful chicken thighs. They were so quick and easy to make. Loved the flavorings in the sauce, which was velvety, sweet and spicy. The molasses is a great addition.

Recipe is ok, not much flavor even though I let it marinade for a day.
