My husband made some tweaks from the original recipe to suit our tastes and it was fabulous. Our 18 month-old son even loves it! It's the perfect way for me to get out of cooking for a night!

My family enjoyed this recipe. The root beer ingredient interested me and the sauce turned out sweet and mild and my youngest even liked it.

I found this tolerable, but no one else liked it at all. I tried to use the leftovers in salads the next night and that was not a hit either.

Omg This chicken was delicious! I made it with rice. There was plenty of extra sauce. It was a sweet sauce. I did season the chicken a little with onion and garlic powder just because i generally find chicken bland if i dont. Very easy recipe.

I used a Hormel Original Flavor Pork Tenderloin instead of chicken. I seared the meat and place it in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes. While it was roasting, I mixed and cooked the glaze. I basted the pork and roasted it an additional 20 minutes. Extra glaze was poured over the sliced pork. Sweet and slightly tangy - can't wait to try it with chicken!
