This recipe is sweet but spicy. Very good as long as you don't overcook it and dry it out.

LOVED it!!!!!!! I served this w/ Broccoli & cheese smothered baked potato. Yummyy.. My roomie asked me to make it again. I did use chicken tenders instead of the breasts, as well as marinateing it over night. Really let the flavor set it. Im visiting my mom & dad this weekend, My mom is begging me to make it for them.

I broiled this instead of using the grill. I turned out juicy, moist and flavorful. I didn't have a broiler pan so I just used a flat sheet with foil and made sure the foil didn't catch fire. I used tenderloins intead of whole breasts and turned them over about after 8 min or so and cooked the other side. Will make again.

Delicious!! My family loved this. We had to share it. The chicken turned out so tender! We liked the marinade so much we tried it on Salmon, and it was delicious that way too!

Not the most amazing chicken, but its super easy and fast and tastes pretty good. Recommend it as a fast, healthy dish.

We made this on the grill and just loved it. We love spicy food, but even so probably would cut the cayenne a bit. Definitely added to our rotation, and good enough for company.

EXCELLENT !!! My WHOLE family LOVES this recipe !! I go alittle easier on the red pepper though, and add alittle more brown sugar ( it carmelizes the chicken alittle more on the grill :) Mmm, this recipe ROCKS !! It's GREAT paired with corn on the cob ( soaked in sugar water for 15-20 mins ) and herb rice !!! Yummy Yummy Yummy !! DEFINATELY try this recipe !!

This was really good. Everyone in my family enjoyed it. Super juicy chicken. I didn't have the thyme, but it was great just the same. Quick easy way to spice up chicken.
