  1. Mix all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Add the chicken to a large saute pan over medium heat and pour in the sauce. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 40 minutes, skimming off any fat that rises. Bring to a boil again and add the flour slurry, then lower the heat and let simmer for 10 minutes to thicken. Arrange the chicken in a deep serving platter and cover with the sauce.

Pretty good recipe.  Really sweet.  I would cut down sugar to 3/4 Cup of sugar.  I also used skinned thighs, added one whole bell pepper and one whole anaheim pepper which gave it a more distinct robust flavor.  Cooking in Instapot on poultry setting only took 15 minutes  After releasing pressure, opening Instapot and skimming fat, I added broth to flour slurry and whisked and then added all contents back to Instapot for better mixing.
