Enjoyed this delicious chicken for dinner! Very good!
Glad it was a success! We love this chicken so much 🙂
is there something you can substitute for the apple cider vinegar
Kate, regular white distilled vinegar would work fine, too
I made this tonight for supper and we loved it. My hubby is a tough critic and really liked! Props;)
Can this be prepared ahead of time? Could you make the sauce earlier in the day? Or how would you do it? Thanks.
Kathy! Sorry, just noticed your comment. I have never tried to make this in advance. If I were to, yes I would make the sauce in advance, let it cool and refrigerate until ready to use. Again, I’ve never tried this, so not sure how it would work out. Good luck!
Love this!!! You think I could make it in the crockpot?? My oven is having problems!
Yes Tia, I think you could, although I’ve not tried it. I would make the glaze and pour over chicken in crock pot. Cook atleast 3 hours on high or 6 hours on low heat. let me know how it turns out!
If I make half a recipe of I cook it half the time?
Made this last night. Thank you for the relish recipe. Everyone just loved it!
What if I have larger than regular chicken breasts? should I cut them in half?
