I really struggled with how to write this review. The recipe has many flaws. 1. There is no way the chicken would brown effectively on low heat. I did try (not being a very good cook) and after 5 minutes on the first side there was literally no cooking going on. I turned the burner up to medium-high (8) which was probably too high. Maybe 5 or 6 would brown the chicken without burning it. 2. There is NO WAY 8 chicken breasts would fit in the pan size specified. I used a 13X9 pan. 3. 45 minutes is too long to bake them, especially after browning first. They would have totally dried out (that much I do know). I baked them for 15 minutes naked and 15 with sauce. 4. The sauce is REALLY SPICY. Disclaimer: I only had 1/4 c. of honey, so that might have affected the balance and therefore the heat factor. I am not sure I would make this again. I finished mine the night I made it and no one else really did. However, my daughter's boyfriend ate all the leftovers the next day and absolutely loved it.

I learned how to cook since I was young helping my dear Mom in the kitchen.
Also like to combine ideas or ingredients from different recipes to create some of my own, so my dear husband and my family enjoy what I cook.
