Erin (Colorado) says:

This recipe was AWESOME! My family of picky eaters asked for seconds. However, I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead of the legs and drumsticks (since my family does not like dark meat or bones). I served this over rice and my husband called it "fancy." Thanks so much!

I prepared this recipe for my wife who has just re-entered the work force as of today. It was a HUGE hit! (not to mention a HUGE surprise that I actually attempted it!) Absolutely delicious! Who says husbands can't cook? I probably shot myself in the foot though as now she KNOWS I can actually cook! Our thanks to Sherry!

Great recipe. I used Orange Mango juice, and pineapple tidbets with juice. The flavor of the spices and sweetness of the juice and honey was wonderful. I cooked the chicken about 45 minutes then took the cover off so the chicken would brown up and the sauce would thicken. About 15-20 minutes accomplished everything. Wonderful!

I made this recipe for my family tonight and we loved it we thought that it was amazing. The only my family and I never understood about the recipe is that it calls for onions and green pepper but after you cook it in the skillet it never once tells you when to add them. Plus instead of going out and buying pineapple juice which was really expensive we used canned pineapple (the juice from it works just as well as long as the can pineapple is in 100% juice.) I was nervous about trying this recipe but it turned out amazing. Will make again.

I always use a whole chicken for this recipe. I just cook it for 1.5 to 2 hours and used can pinapple. I use the juice for the recipe and stuff the back of the chicken with the pinapple chunks. The result is amazing. My boyfriend is heartbroken if I ever make chicken and it isn't this recipe. Thanks a lot.
