Sweet and Spicy Chicken

This is one of Glenn’s favorite chicken recipes. He likes it best with chicken thighs, but if I am eating it, too, I will use chicken breasts instead.

Enjoy with a side of rice, green vegetable, and the extra sauce from the bottom of the pan spooned over the top of the chicken…because this sauce is SOOOO good!
