Sweet and Tangy Red Chicken image

My mother got this recipe years ago from a friend and we have been making it ever since. I think that her friend called it Sweet and Tangy Chicken but our family has always just said Red Chicken. It's good paired with mashed potatoes or rice.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was very flavorful.

I'm not a big fan of sweet and tangy dishes, but this recipe was surprisingly good. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the sauce was just the right amount of sweetness and tang.
