Chicken Dinner

This is my version of a recipe I found in an old Food Network magazine. I changed the ingredient amounts and simplified the cooking process. Fewer dirty dishes is always a plus!

In less than an hour you have a tasty and satisfying meal.

Sticky and sweet with just a little tartness. These chicken thighs are also great the next day.
