    this is a winner! I loved it!!!
    I usually love all of Ina's recipes so no surprise with this one!!
    Like others mentioned on reviews...I decreased the honey and added 2 T. balsamic and some sriracha (to taste, we love a little heat. I spooned some of the sauce over the chicken to serve. I will try to thicken the sauce perhaps.??? who knows. I love it!! Anyone who has made any other adjustments please let me know.
    p.s. I only marinated for 4 hours...3 breasts and 4 thighs.

    This turned out so much better than expected. I followed recipe with the following changes I too added a tsp of sriracha and 1TBSP brown sugar plus 1/4 lemon juice. Using boneless skinless breast they only marinated about 3hrs. Baked 20 min 375 then uncovered and stirred in a couple TBSP corn starch. Cooked another 15 minutes and ended up with an amazing thick sauce. This was awesome. Served with plain white rice and fresh grilled asparagus

    Was looking for a new recipe for chicken thighs and this is now my new go to!! Delicious!! I halved the sauce and added a tablespoon of Sriracha and, since I love sweet and spicy, a couple of tablespoons of brown sugar. Cooked the thighs at 350* for 20 minutes then 375* for 20 more (plus a couple minutes under the broiler to crisp up the skin then degreased the sauce and reduced it for about 8 minutes until it was syrupy and it was amazing!!! Next time I will add pineapple to the syrup and serve over rice (kind of a spicy sweet and sour chicken.

    CRAZY GOOD!!! : I USED ONE 5 POUND CHICKEN CUT INTO 8 PIECES, BAKED 40 MINUTES COVERED AT 350 AND 40 MINUTES UNCOVERED AT 375! MY HUSBAND THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY GOOD, BUT I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT! LOL SERVED WITH INDIAN RICE OF MY OWN AND GLAZED ORANGE GINGER CARROTS. I SHOULD FEEL GUILTY BECAUSE I MADE INA'S CHOCOLATE CAKE (BEATTY'S TOO AND HAD A NICE SLICE OF IT! YUMMY MEAL AND DESSERT!! : TO JNICOLITZ BELOW, I TOO HAD A LOT OF SAUCE LEFT OVER BUT DUE TO THE CHICKEN RELEASING ITS GREASE INTO IT I WOULD NOT REUSE (TOO OILY AND NOT AS CONCENTRATED WITH ALL THAT OIL HOPE THAT HELPS.

    I have made this recipe, but not for years. After reading other cook's reviews, I made some changes and am much happier with the results. I added a splash of balsamic vinegar, and the juice of one lemon to the marinade. When the chicken was mostly cooked I drained off the juice, and put just the chicken pieces under the broiler to crisp up. As others recommended, in a saute pan I added the sauce and a bit of cornstarch to thicken it. Delicious!

    A great staple, although I would reduce the amount of honey (too sweet! and add pepper (if you like a little kick. I also add scallions when grilling, instead of baking.
