Tip: This chicken is also delicious with mashed potatoes. Mom served the thick, tangy sauce that coats this tender chicken as a gravy over rice or mashed potatoes. It makes a welcome centerpiece for any meal. —Donna Sasser Hinds, Milwaukie, Oregon

I loved the chicken but agree that the cloves was a little too overpowering and the molasses made it too sweet. I will definitely adjust the recipe a little.

i thought this could totally do without the clove. it overpowered everything! the molasses was too much too. i want to try it again, but instead use garlic powder for the ground clove and replace most of the molasses with honey. then im sure it will be a winner!

The molasses in this was just too strong for our tastes.
