It sounded good, but the sauce was too bland and too sweet. Maybe add some chopped green and/or red bell peppers to it, or more mustard, might add some needed zip.

The recipe seemed simple enough, but the sauce was not that flavorful, was completely charred after about twenty minutes in the oven, and left my family questioning my cooking skills. It wasn't entirely terrible, but certainly not something I'd bother with again.

Used thighs. Served with jasmine rice and sweet peas. Excellent weekday meal. The sauce was very thin though, so I transferred a good portion of it to a saucepan and reduced it for a few minutes to thicken.

It has potential. I admit to tweaking it! I left ALL the sugar out! Added and extra spoon of Soya sauce, and a extra teaspoon of dry mustard powder, half a teaspoon of red pepper flakes. The flavor was great but it was a soup! Maybe drain pineapple next time and add a thickener like maizena or corn flour. It was a bit hot so would put less red pepper next time.

sickeningly sweet and flavourless. The chicken was overcooked in 40 minutes, despite being 5 large, thick breasts. Even though it was swimming in the soup that was supposed to be the sauce, it was dry. This is an awful recipe.
