This is a great recipe!! My family loved it.

Here are a few things I differently that might help:

-Add 2 tablespoons of Olive oil to the butter to keep from burning the butter

-Line the pan with foil. This sauce is sticky and covering the chicken makes it very tender!!

I think the next time I will put a cup of rice under the chicken then bake. I will comment on how it turns out.

Hope my tips help!!

It was very easy to make. And it was nice

and juicy. I used legs and thighs. Would

make it again. Everyone liked it.

This is a favorite. Everyone loves it and it is so simple to make. I too make it with boneless, skinless breasts and the cooking time is 30 minutes. This can very easily be made after work.

Serve with rice for a quick meal.

My whole family loves this recipe!

I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts, baking for only 25 minutes, in place of the broiler with good results. Since I only made five breasts, I had more sauce than was needed so the excess is going into the freezer for next time.

I made this for a dinner party and it was a big hit. My daughter said it's the best chicken she's ever had!
