it was just the recipe i was looking for the kids loved it and so did my husband and i. we used tinned pineapple because the shop was out of fresh pineapple. i also used 1/2 of the soy honey mixture and instead of brushing it on the chicken i poured it over for extra flavour. i also used drumsticks for the kids, next time we make it we are going to add some cornflour to thicken the sauce and see ho that turns out. 5 stars as it was wonderful. THANKYOU !

The smell while this was cooking was excellent. The prep time was a bit shorter than posted. However, the taste once cooked was not what the smell was leading up to. We had this with rice and even that did not help. Sorry NurseDi, I guess this one just wasn't meant for me.
