I came up with this recipe years ago by combining a couple of family favorites. Easy and versatile, it's great for potlucks. I can make the sauce ahead and use all wings or leg quarters when they're on sale. This is a welcome entree at senior citizen fellowship dinners. -Phyllis Minter, Wakefield, Kansas

This receipe, for me, was way too sweet. I decreased the white sugar by 1/2 Cup but it was still too sweet. Next time I will cut both the white sugar and the brown sugar in half.

This has become a family favorite! It is such a great meal to make when having company over. It is wonderful served with the potluck rice pilaf (TOH recipe). We also make this in the dutch ovens when we are camping. WONDERFUL!

I made this with boneless skinless chicken breasts - it was a HUGE hit with my friends and family.
