This recipe was great. I did make a couple of changes: dried orange zest, consentrated orange juice, left out the chicken stock, used fresh cilantro, substituted pumpkin-pie spice for cumin, added honey and maple syrup, and left out the hot sauce. It turned out excellent. The bacon was a nice touch. I will be making this again.
