This made a nice change to weeknight chicken, I'm always looking for new ways with chicken and I loved this flavour combination. The chicken was very tender and I also cheated a bit by not pre cooking the chicken on the stove, I just threw it all in the oven for 40 minutes. Thanx for sharing your recipe Jan :)

The sauce was very fabulous - kinda a sweet and sour thing going on. I didn't use foil at all and as a result our chicken was tough. I think next time (yes there will be a next time!) I will cover the chicken with foil for 30 minutes then remove the foil for the last 15 minutes. I'll send an update. Thanks Jan for a lovely sauce!
