Most others liked this recipe, so I will have to try one more time. After brining the chicken was very salty. So. . . I added more sugar - too sweet. I fried in the vegetable oil and did not like the taste (possibly didn't get to 350?) Dumped the oil out and retried with EVOO - better! All that being said, the party loved the chicken and I will attribute the elevation to the wonderful honey mustard sauce recommended. I will try once more.
