I liked the general idea of this recipe but the spices were a little potent for my family and I couldn't get the hot sauce taste to come through the mayo. I will scale back a little on the spices next time and try Tabasco instead of Texas Pete hot sauce. But on a good note, the chicken came out REALLY moist and delicious and the flavors really cooked through it. UPDATE: I made this chicken again using an off-brand hot sauce from Aldi's and a little less spices and it was FANTASTIC! The chicken was still moist and you could taste the kick from the hot sauce. Upping to 5 stars.

Thanks for making my night. Saw this recipe and thought it might be different enough to add some spark to my otherwise dull weekly menu. The chicken was very moist. I added way too much Tabasco and had to scrape the coating off to accommodate my two little boys, but I'll make this again soon and rework my components to take the spice level down a little without compromising the flavor. My husband suggested I try Texas Pete's brand instead Tabasco. I added Southwestern Couscous and black beans from a can to round out the dinner. Delicious!
