    Hubby and I really loved it, the kids don't care for stews much! I have made it 5-6 times now because it's so good! For the dark brown sugar, I have used molasses and even dark corn syrup when I didn't have dark brown sugar, never following amount exactly. I added a sprinkle of garlic, cayenne pepper and cinnamon to up the flavor. When it's almost done I added some coconut coconut milk mixed with 1T corn starch and cooked until thickened. This gives a wonderful creamy texture that's slightly sweet. Great with white rice or just crusty French bread for dipping in the gravy!. ** I have also used chicken drumsticks which I allow to cook about 20 min. in the oil/sugar mix before continuing.

    This is a good base for a GREAT chicken stew but next time I do this I would change the recipe so much that I couldn't give it more stars. The gravy is TASTY but only once I added, salt, stock flavoring and tomato paste as suggested by other reviewers. Next time I make this I will also stretch the gravy and chicken by adding double or triple potatoes and carrots, plus include onions and celery. My first attempt required us finishing all the yummy veggies leaving a lot of chicken and gravy so I resimmered a whole potfull more of veggies, added back the pulled apart leftover chicken and we had another day or two of this great stew!

    This recipe was very heavy on the smoke flavor, it almost tasted burned. The chicken was very moist though. Thank you!

    Yes, this was very tasty. I made it for a small dinner party and it was perfect. I wasn't sure if it was going to be too sweet with the brown sugar, but it was great! I might try a little chicken broth instead of water next time just to see if it gives the stew even more flavor.

    Very nice recipe. I have been looking for something different to try with chicken. I added a little chopped garlic and some Tomato paste since the recipe called for water instead of stock. Very hearty but light and flavorful. I had skin on chicken thighs so I removed the skin and rendered that separatly in the oven to create a crispy bacon like garnish to crumble over the finished stew. I don't like to waste anything. I have used this chicken skin on a sandwich like a BLT. Very good if you are out of bacon.
