Sticky Chicken

I'mPat's Note:

From the latest edition of Recipe+ magazine, sound easy and delicious. Have not included marinating time but at least 30 minutes is recommended. They used chicken wings and drumsticks but other cuts could be used but times may vary.

• Total Time: 50 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 35 mins

OMG so good ... spicy but good. I made this using 6 large chicken breasts, Homemade Gourmet sweet chili sauce and I didn't have char siu sauce so I used Kinder's BBQ sauce. This not only makes a delicious meal but also a beautiful presentation. OH and I forgot the sesame oil and still tasty!! We served this with salad, potato cubes and corn on the cob. Thanks for a great mothers day meal.

This was a little on the spicy side but I like it that way. I did leave out the sesame seed oil because the smell of it makes me sick. DD (my picky eater) went back for seconds. Made for Went to Market Tag

I wanted a quick and tasty dinner tomight and this was perfect Pat. I used chicken thighs (bone in) which I marinated for 50 minutes and then cooked for 50 minutes. The prep was super fast and I was able to relax while all that was going on. We ate this with steamed rice and broccoli with oyster sauce. A great dish made with pantry items was a winner for us! I made all the recipe and omorrow night, I plan to make the leftovers into an Asian chicken noodle soup.
