I didn't find this recipe here - instead from my 2003 Collection from SL. Nonetheless, it is amazing. The original recipe calls for 8 bone-in thighs, weighing a total of 2 lbs. I substituted thighs and one half breast, all boneless, which weighed a total of 1.75 lbs. Followed all other instructions and served over rice with a corn pudding (Barefoot Contessa w/adaptations) as the side. Great meal for a cold, clear night. 5 stars all around if you include the simplicity of prep.

I prepared this recipe for 100 people for our family reunion. I also used bone-in thighs, but I removed the skin and braised them first. I then made the sauce, poured it over the chicken thighs and marinated them overnight. The next day I removed them from the sauce and put them in my roaster. I thickened the sauce and then poured it over the chicken. I then roasted it slowly in my roaster oven until the chicken was done. It was outstanding! I served it along with Oven Baked White Rice, Perfect Every Time!, Recipe #109716. It was a fabulous combination for a large crowd. I will use both of these recipes again and again.

This was delicious! The first bite I took I was like oh my gosh this is good! I used all pineapple juice from a can of crushed pineapples, so 1 cup pineapple juice, used 1 1/2 tsp of ground ginger (because 1/4 tsp of ground ginger equals 1 tsp of minced fresh ginger), then put the green onions in with the rest of the sauce. I thought it was a tad too pineappley for me so I added another 2 TBSP soy sauce, 2 TBSP brown sugar, 1 TBSP ketchup, 1 TBSP cider vinegar, 1/2 tsp jarred minced garlic, 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper, and 1/2 tsp ground ginger. I cooked it just like it said too and it was some of the best chicken I've ever had. I only had my sister and myself to cook for so I can't wait to let others try this! *Update* I cooked this again for the rest of my family, and they loved it. Also, This recipe could easily be used to cook a 3 lb bag of chicken thighs, but if you want extra sauce for rice or something, you could use less chicken. (Over rice was delicious).

Hate to ruin the shut-out. The cooking technique for the chicken DID result in a very nice texture but the sauce was ho-hum; kind of a botched sweet-and-sour sauce rather than "barbeque". It took a lot of starch to thicken--maybe I had watery chicken. DW wishes I had done oven-BBQ with a bottled sauce instead. P.S. I used a healthy shot of habanero sauce for my 2nd serving and really liked it--DW (non-chile-head) won't be asking for this again tho.
