  1. "Oooh Delish"! Beside quick and easy, "The Sauce Made The Dish"! I only had 6 thighs but used the full sauce recipe. The amount of sauce was perfect. I did add 2 cloves of minced garlic to the sauce. (We are garlic lovers.) This is good enough for company and I will use the recipe. Maybe it's just me, but, when I use 12 thighs, I intend to "double" the sauce. I don't think the amount of sauce as listed is enough. Thanks for a winner!
     
  2. It smells heavenly right now as it is baking! Tastes just as good. Some of the wee ones (4 years old) did not like the chili powder, but the rest of us gave this dish a 5 thumbs up. Let me tell you, Charlene was not kidding when she said prep time 5 minutes! This was so fast and simple to put together. Finger licken' good
     
  3. It's not often that you can easily give a recipe 5 stars for flavor AND ease in making! Use of the salsa added a nice flavor to the sauce, not over powering and it doesn't scream "salsa here-grab the corn chips!" I followed recipe as stated and the next time I'll play with it by omitting the ketchup, use diced tomatoes or tom. sauce and stir in chopped green onions at the end of the cooking process. Note, if using thighs, the 45 minute cook time works well, if using breasts, at this temp. 30 minutes or less would cook them without over doing it.
     
  4. I loved this recipe but made the following changes 1)Substituted tomato sauce for the ketchup..no sugar and richer taste 2)Made more sauce than needed to not only coat the thighs but to surrounded them as they baked. Made the thighs so much more juicier
     
  5. The base for the sauce was good, but it seemed to be missing something. I added a half tablespoon more mustard and instead of chili powder I used 2 teaspoons of Emeril's Southwest Seasoning. I also added a couple shakes of Cholula hot sauce. So yummy I could eat just the sauce. Love that it was so quick to prepare and the whole house smelled wonderful.

Tweaks

  1. Amazing!!! I altered it a bit because I didn't have all the ingredients- mushroom/garlic tom. sauce instead of ketchup, cayenne instead of chili powder, hot mustard instead of dijon. I topped with parmesan and sour cream and ate with pasta and cauliflower. ONE OF THE BEST MEALS EVER!!
     
  2. This recipe is AMAZING!!!! I made it for company last night and there is nothing left. I replaced the ketchup with tomato sauce (low on ketchup) and delicious. I can't wait to make it again. I also emailed the link to fellow foodie friends.
     
  3. Great recipe! I used tomato sauce instead of ketchup to avoid sugar or corn syrup and they came out really good.
     
  4. Very good! And extremely easy to make. My husband surprised me tonight by coming home an hour early; I had this in the oven within five minutes. The chicken was very tender. I think next time I'll try it the way other reviewers have suggested, substituting tomato sauce (or a mixture of tomato sauce & paste) for the catsup. (The honey should be enough sweetener for us.) Thanks so much for posting this!
     
  5. I had to try this recipe because of all the great reviews. It was simple & delicious, perfect for flavorful no work meal. The only changes I made to the recipes was I used tomato sauce in place of ketchup. I also added garlic powder & onion powder to the sauce. Wonderful....

Hi Everyone! Well what can I tell you about myself...I’m HOUSEMANAGER (a name given to me by my family) a 43 year old Christian gal married to a wonderful man with a beautiful 8 year old competitive gymnast daughter who looks like a princess. I’m absolutely passionate about food. My love of cooking / baking and all things food is only rivaled by my love for interior design and my in-depth interest in forensic science (what a combination). This explains my "OFF BEAT" humor! It wasn't always that way, I used to make a joke that my first marriage ended in divorce because of my then disdain for the kitchen... WOW HAVE I CHANGED! I’m really an artist at heart, everything I’ve ever been involved in or am doing currently revolves around the creative within me. For over 15 years I was in business for myself (The Salon Industry) where I met my now present husband. We currently own and operate our own Consulting / Marketing / Advertising firm, catering primarily to real estate agents and their properties. Yes, I have a techy background that spills into our business which is unique in that we handle all the details from start to finish. Business interests take us deep into the internet...a story on it's own! I collect chefs (yea,you read right), cookbooks and dishes. The dishes / table settings are in every color and style imaginable. I love to set theme tables that emphasizes the food (that’s the artist in me). I have an insatiable interest in cooking techniques and ingredients, especially the exotic. Our home is blessed with an array of cats, a dog, hamsters, exotic birds and tropical fish. There’s a whole lot of God, love and laughter being served along with the food here! I adore this site and I tip my hat to all the staff and ‘zaar contributors. There is a lot of “stuff” out there but this is a 5 star site, you should all be exceedingly glad in the direction the site is going! Your endless hard work is appreciated.
