Sticky Chicken Recipe

This recipe is one that kids just love. Our only advice is to make sure the chicken has cooled a bit before you serve it because the sugar makes the glaze very hot. You can make this recipe for sticky chicken with boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead. Just increase the cooking time by 10 to 15 minutes. And be sure to watch the chicken carefully in the sauce. Because there's so much sugar in it, it can burn easily. You can reduce the sugar in this recipe a bit if you'd like, but not too much since it is crucial to the texture of the sauce and the flavor. We would only take out a few tablespoons of the sugar. Don't use a sugar substitute in this recipe because it will not work and the sauce will become bitter. Serve this recipe with lots of napkins or wet wipes, some rice pilaf or cooked pasta mixed with butter and parmesan cheese, and a green salad or steamed carrots or green beans. An ice cream pie or brownies for dessert would be wonderful.
