This chicken is sooooooo yummy!! The whole family responded with a chorus of MMmmmmm's! I used a whole chicken, cut up and skinned. I then dredged each piece with seasoned (salt and pepper) flour before placing it in the pan to help the sauce stick since I skinned the chicken. I peeled the garlic and mixed it in with the other sauce ingredients and baked as instructed. I also seeded the jalapeno out of cosideration for my children, but will try it with the seeds next time for the "kick"! :) Thanks for posting - we really enjoyed it! Made for Went to Market game Feb 2009.

I've been tracing my roots for at least 10 years. One branch came to America just after the Mayflower in the early 1600s. Others came in the early 1700s, late 1890s. So, my American roots run pretty deep and I am deeply patriotic. Just wish someone had thought to same me some land!</p>
