These chicken thighs are delicious. I was afraid they would be too spicy but they were perfect. Be sure to spoon some of the sauce over the chicken when serving. It smells strong while cooking but it is not spicy at all. I used two extra large chicken thighs for the two of us and it was perfect.

I doubled the sauce as previous reviewer did but otherwise kept to the recipe. Flavor was good, not overly tangy.

We enjoyed this tasty and easy to make recipe. Love the sweet and spicy taste of the sauce. I used 8 thighs, but used the amount of sauce called for in the recipe. I did not use the oil; instead, I browned the thighs in a non-stick skillet. I drained all but 2 tablespoons of the fat instead of using all of it. I also seasoned the thighs and let them sit in the refrigerator before cooking. I used sugar-free apricot jam and freshly made horseradish instead of horseradish sauce to save on the calories. Will make this recipe again.
