Can you make this with boneless skinless chicken thighs? If yes, how long would you cook it? Thank you
Yes you can, I would bake it the same way, or maybe 5 minutes less, and I would use food thermometer to make sure it reads 160°F.
I made this recipe tonight and turn out delicious. I also added the the pineapple chunks . so good!! Thank you!!
Thank you Wanda for your great recipe review!

I made this recipe tonight and it was so delicious! My family loved it! I added more garlic than called for because we are garlic fiends and a little extra ginger as well. I think next time I’ll try it with pineapple tidbits added. I served it with white rice and roasted broccoli. There are no leftovers!

This is definitely a family favorite, I also add pineapple chunks to it. Makes it so good.
Delicious! Added pineapple chunks at the end of cooking time but had to eliminate ginger due to allergy. Any suggestions for a substitute?
Maybe allspice or nutmeg or Szechuan Peppercorn.
I made with boneless chicken thighs and also added crushed pineapple. I didn’t have ginger so I used about a tablespoon of ground ginger, came out great 🙂
This recipe is amazing! Followed to the letter except I added 1/2 can of pineapple chunks when chicken was turned to skin up and it turned out great. Also served with white rice and peas.
It will be a recipe I will use over and i
