This was quite nice looking! I made a few modifications, mostly that I used bone-in skin-on legs instead - I'm always worried about the boneless/skinless drying out too much. But I prepared the sauce as directed - it was good, but a skosh too sweet for my taste - I will definitely make this again but maybe half the molasses. We're just not that used to sweet stuff. The pear slices definitely made the dish look classy! Thanks!

Hi! I'm a mom to a four and a half year old boy and I work full time. Recently divorced...I don't have the time or money I used to have to plan and cook meals. But I still love to eat! I generally eat very healthy food, but sometimes indulge in old fashioned comfort food...as my recipe collection attests to.
