Excellent! Super tender and delicious! . I marinated them for about 5 hours or so. Also baked them instead of grilling. I also broiled them a few minutes at the end to make them a bit more brown. Will definitely be making it again.

I can see why it's a favorite of your family....it is for us now, also! I marinated the chicken breast overnight and it was SO tender and very tasty! I also baked ours in the oven and cut the servings down to 1. I'm definitely making this one again and again!!

I really enjoyed this dish. It was so delicious, spicy and moist. I used boneless, skinless, chicken breasts. I used both hot & sweet chili sauce. It was so good, I served it on cellaphane noodles. I will be making this often. Thanks so much for sharing.

I deviated from the recipe a bit by marinating for two hours and then putting them in the crock-pot for 4 hours on high. I wish I would have baked them in the oven as their was a bit too much marinade in the crock pot with the wings. Oh and I should mention...I used chicken wings instead of chicken thighs. I opted to add the hot sauce, but DH said they weren't a bit spicy. This made for a great crock-pot meal on busy week-nights. Thanks Bonnette!~ Made for PRMR!

We had a mixed review of the chili sauce tonight. I loved it and DH said it was okay. I think I'll decrease the basil next time. The amount of garlic was perfect. I baked this in the oven for 30 minutes at 400 degrees. Thanks. Made for 1-2-3-4 Hits.
