Sweet, Sticky and Spicy Chicken

I came across this delicious recipe on page 105 in the Dec/Jan 2014 issue of Allrecipes.com magazine.  This is a meal that I have made several times in the past.  My family really likes this and it is one of those meals that is great to make when you are short on time. It only takes about 20-25 minutes to have on the table.  I always serve it over rice. The only thing I change when I make this recipe is to cut way back on the hot sauce.  I had almost forgot about this recipe and I was glad to be reminded of it when I saw this in the magazine.
