Easy Spicy Mexican-American Chicken image

My husband is Mexican, and he loves spicy chicken from the supermarket. I was trying to recreate one of the spicy packaged chicken dishes at home, and that's what i came up with. Chicken thighs are softer and juicier. It is very spicy and tangy, easy to make, and he loves it!

Number Of Ingredients 5

½ cup Mexican-style hot sauce (such as Valentina)

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out great! The sauce was a little too spicy for my taste, but I'll definitely make it again with less chili powder.
