    OK very stupid question but do i just turn the oven on broil and the broiler pan is the one with the rack that you put water in the bottom? I have only ever cooked the ham on that thing, sorry for stupid questions. this sounds wonderful!!!!

    I just spray and use any baking pan no water. I had leftovers of this at lunch (with breasts instead of thighs)

    Hi Chrissy, I want to use breasts too, did you still do it about 5 minutes on each side? sounds delicious

    I'm so glad I found this! I was just thinking that I wanted something different for dinner tonight and this will be it!
    I'll be using breasts, too ('cuz that's what I have) and am going to bake them.:happy:

    I am eating this right now... it's wonderful! Thank you to the OP! :happy: I overcooked my chicken breasts, so they're a little dry... but that's my own fault. LOL! Great recipe.

    :flowerforyou: I cooked this tonight and my family loves it:love: . I cooked breast for myself and drumsticks for the rest. My daughter ususally doesn't even eat a whole drumstick, but tonight she ate 2! This is a keeper!

    Thanks

    ps. I also made some garlic broccoli to go with the chicken

    1 lb bag of broccoli florets
    1 tsp minced garlic
    2 tbsp low sodium teriaki sauce
    2 tsp honey
    1tsp cider vinegar
    dash of cayenne pepper (or crushed red pepper flakes)

    Mix everything in a pan over high heat and cook to desired texture. It almost tasted like the garlic broccoli I get from the chinese restaurant near my home. It was great!

    Sorry not sure about time - I used breasts with bone no skin and didn't flip it....just baked it til they were done. Didn't broil.

    I am going to make this tonight with some asparagus! I don't have a broiler pan, so I am going to use my George Forman Grill...I'll let you know how it turns out!

    Next Day:

    I made this for dinner last night with herb roasted potato wedges and grilled asparagus! This was really good! Nice change to boring chicken.

    Excuse my ignorance, but when you talk about broiling, do you mean in the regular oven? :blushing:

    Broiling is when you cook at a high heat from above. Your regular oven should have a broil setting where you normally adjust the temperature. Make sure you put the pan a little lower in the oven or you'll char it!

    I made this last night. YUM!

    I used regular old chicken thighs with the skin removed (myself). Baked them at 450 (because I was also making roasted potatoes at that temp) for 25 minutes. I turned them 1/2 way through and then a few minutes before pulling them from the oven, basted with the honey/cider mixture...waited a minute or two...turned again, basted again...a few more minutes in and then they were done!

    Soooo yummy. For personal taste, I will likely reduce the cumin next time and maybe even the cayenne...they packed quite a punch!

    I will try this mixture again....I'm thinking shrimp would be GREAT!
