Delicious! I marinated for 8 hours, and grilled on a charcoal grill. I did use boneless, skinless thighs, so I reduced the cooking time. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly. Such juicy, tender chicken!! The sugar in the marinade caused flare-ups, but if you watch closely you can control this. I loved this marinade, and will use it again. Made for a welcome home for my son coming home for Christmas from college....he loved this!

Too cold for the b-b-q/grill and well I just don't do iit anyway, so made in the frypan (was considering oven method as per Mikekey's suggestion) but oppted for frypan and it took just over 30 minutes for some of the lovely moist boneless/ckinless chicken thighes and well the up was I had some lovely sauce in the pan to serve over them (would be great with rice and to drizzle over that as well). Made for PapaD's cookathon,

Welcome to my page, Born and raised in Montana and now I’m retired Navy and I live in North East Florida on 5 acres in the country. I have enjoyed cooking for as long as I can remember. Thanks to everyone that has tried and reviewed my recipes :>)
My review guidelines are as follows:
5 stars - Wonderful ! Perfect as posted and plan to make this recipe again!
4 stars - Liked it a lot and will make again but will probably alter the recipe slightly.
3 stars - OK but to make it again would require major changes to the original recipe to suit my tastes.
2 stars - Really didn't like it. Could be personal preference or the recipe just didn't meet expectations.
