Made this recipe last night. It came out very well. It was a little on the sweet side..but then again I could not find red pepper flakes and substituted ground red pepper. next time I will add more of the red pepper, and more garlic. I was afraid to use too much! Hubby is just getting used to me cooking things with a little kick! Will definitely make again! Made extra sauce to put over steamed rice, and served with fresh spinach.

This was a delicious recipe but a bit on the spicy side (which is surprising, as I love spicy food!). I had 8 chicken breasts, which is double what is called for, and I wanted to take other reviewers' advice and make double the sauce, so I ended up quadrupling the sauce recipe. The only thing I should not have quadrupled was the red pepper flakes. Next time I make this, I'll halve the amount of red pepper flakes. All other modifications I made ended up turning out very well: using olive oil instead of vegetable oil, orange juice in lieu of frozen OJ concentrate, halving the margarine amount, and using 3 cloves of garlic instead of just 1. The flavor of this recipe is great, and I'll definitely be making it again!

So sorry to ruin the star rating, but this was just okay for us. It wasn't too spicy or too sweet - we just didn't like the combination of flavors with the chicken. It was certainly not bad! It just wasn't one of our favorites and probably will not be made again in our house. Thanks anyway for sharing the recipe! :)

Mine was great! I added a little dry white wine towards the end of cooking time to deglaze the pan, so obviously it was less glazy and more saucy, but my whole family loved it. I also used fresh squeezed orange juice instead of concentrate, added more red pepper flakes, and an extra clove of garlic. I added 1 head of broccoli when I added the honey mixture and served it all over rice. Yumm!
