This is a wonderful recipe!!! The flavours all work together so well. I made as is except, I tasted the marinade before adding the chicken and I loved the flavours so much. So I added a little more chili sauce and honey so I could boil and thicken and serve on the side as a sauce and I have to say it was superb. I also just cooked it entirely in a pan, rather than finishing in the oven, to stop the honey from burning I just turned down the heat once browned and cooked covered, it came out perfectly juicy and tender. I served this over stir-fried vegetables and it was perfect. I will be saving this one as a wonderful quick, full of flavour recipe that I will enjoy often. Thanks for sharing

WOW, this was more than 5 stars, even though I made a little boo boo by putting hot chilli sauce instead of seet chilli sauce by accident. I was dreaqding the 1st bite, LOL. But it was so amazingly good. Very sticky indeed! A nice easy recipethat I loved. I cooked them in the oven in my roasting pan with out oil, they took about 45 minutes for 5 legs, I was too scared to give them to the kids after tasting the marinade with hot chiili sauce! But they would have liked the finished product anyway.

This was very good! My boys and I loved the heat on this chicken. I did use chicken drumsticks but they turned out great. I just cooked them a little longer. Made for Aussie Tag.

I agree with everything Flying Chef said, and I cooked it the same way too! I used chicken tenderloins, so they cooked very quickly, super quick meal!!!
