I was amazed at how moist this chicken was! Basting it every half-hour was key. My husband and I have sworn to make this many times more, as we both fell in love with the flavor and texture.

This chicken is so moist and delicious. I was a little concerned that the sauce would be to thin; however, it was perfect. I did use boneless thighs and served this on top of <a href="/177017">Alton Brown's Baked Brown Rice</a>. There is plenty of the orange flavored sauce to spoon on top of the chicken.
