Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease a large baking sheet (with a raised side) or casserole dish.
  2. In a medium sauce pan whisk together all sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium heat and boil for 3-4 minutes. While sauce is boiling, season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides, grease a skillet and cook chicken on both sides 1-2 minutes over medium heat, just enough to brown the very outside.
  3. Arrange chicken in a single layer (not overlapping) on prepared baking sheet. Brush with sauce. (there should still be plenty of sauce leftover - reserve for later). Bake for 20-25 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Pour remaining sauce over the chicken and serve hot.

Notes

  • Hot sauce: Frank's hot sauce is a favorite of mine - great flavor and just enough heat!
