I made this recipe last night and it was a hit! The chicken was so tender and juicy, and the sauce was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they cooked perfectly in the time stated. The sauce was also very good and had a nice kick to it. I will definitely be making this again.
