This is a new favorite. Simple, easy, no exotic ingredients but great flavor and color - A perfect meal on a cool evening! I didn't have enough red potato so used a combination of red, russet and sweet and it was delicious. My 11 year old said it may be his favorite meal yet!

This is so yummy... husband and kids LOVE it. It has a flavor unlike anything else I have made?! I removed the skin from the chicken (kids don't like). Best to use a little extra butter, and make extra syrup/salt glaze. It does have a lot of garlic, but my family is a huge garlic fan so that is just fine!  May want to double....

Chicken comes out soggy, slippery, slimy and gross, and no flavor. I might be a little better if the skin was seasoned & browned before beginning the recipe. Also way way too much garlic. I won't make this again.

This was really good. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and it seemed to turn out just fine.
