I knew i would like this, but I liked it even more than I imagined. I only used half the amount of chipotle because I am a heat whimp, but otherwise I left the ingredients alone. I broiled boneless breasts and thighs in the oven. Of course the thighs were done first , so I pulled them out first. The sauce clung nicely to the meat and didn't all run off, even after I flipped the chicken pieces. I am absolutely hanging on to this one.

I'm becoming quite the chipotle pepper lover. It's hard to believe I hadn't even heard of chipotles until I moved to New Mexico! This is one of the better uses! I used bone-in breasts and made them in the oven. This is an awesome preparation and I will fix this often. Thnx for posting your recipe, loof. Made for Comfort Cafe Summer 2009.

Very good. Not quite as flavorful as I'd hoped, but a nice way to use up extra chipotles. Made with corm & white rice.

This is a great sweet/heat recipe. I topped the chicken with peppers, onions, and mushrooms for dinner. I can also see this shredded and used in tacos. Very nice recipe, thanks for sharing.

This was wonderful chicken dish. Our rainy weather isn't conducive to outdoor grilling right now, so I broiled it in my oven and the chicken turned out perfectly moist and nicely flavored with the orange-chipotle glaze. I know I'll make this again, so it's going right into my "keeper" folder. Thanks for sharing your recipe, loof. Made for "Please Review My Recipe" tag game.
