Very tasty! The sauce was easy to make, and I even substituted a spicy BBQ Sauce for the chili sauce and it turned out great! I might cut back a little bit on the Cayenne Pepper as it was just a touch too spicy. However, it was delicious and I will definitely be making it again!

We had this for dinner last night and WOW was this a hit! The chicken had great flavor with just enough heat to suit my family. If you don't like your food to have a bite I would recommend cutting back on the cayenne pepper. Simple to prepare this one is definitely a keeper!

The sauce took just a little bit of time but it REALLY WAS WORTH IT! We cooked it for the first time when we had company (which is a risky move on a new dish) EVERYONE loved it.

We served it with corn, the chicken was excellent.
