I made this over a week ago but forgot to write the review. I liked the flavor of the sauce. I used skin-on legs and thighs. With the skin, I don't think the butter in the bottom of the dish was needed. They were still frozen when I started so cooked them for longer than 30 minutes before adding the sauce. I didn't turn them again after adding sauce, which allowed it to carmelize on top. I liked the flavor but not sure the family liked it enough to put it into the general rotation. I would like to make it with skinless meat, in which case I might mix the sauce more into the drippings.

<br>Of course, I love to cook and bake. Desserts seem to be my specialty, however my husband & I like Mexican, Southwest, Greek, and Italian cuisine alot. Healthy food(soy milk, tofu etc.), alot of raw vegetables and made from scratch comprise much of our diet. I have always had problems cooking fish, tho we do like to eat fish. We are both retired.

<br>My husband and I are both natives of Colorado, however somehow we ended up living in St. George Utah, in the South west corner, near Zion, Bryce, & Grand Canyon National Parks, which we enjoy alot. Before the price of gasoline took a jump, I volunteered at Zion NP.
