I skinned my thighs and took off as much visible fat as I could. I did 500 for 10 minutes. Although the sauce ingredients seemed a crazy mix, it was quite good; and the chicken was moist, tender and delicious. I paired the chicken with a roasted butternut squash/corn/red onion/Craisin medley that also contained cayenne pepper.

<p>I'm what they call a career changer. I originally moved to NYC to start a job on Wall Street. Things were going well, but it wasn't what I wanted to do day in and day out. So, I decided to enroll at The French Culinary Institute to follow my passion for food. Since then I've been filling my days with pots and pans instead of stocks and bonds. The food I love to cook fills your mouth with flavor and your soul with warmth.</p>
