This tasted good, but I don't cook with the microwave, so I used the oven instead. It didn't taste spicy to us, so I'll add more cayenne pepper next time.

    Maybe my microwave is more powerful, but after cooking on high for 6 minutes, I just had a few "clumps" of sauce left. Had I cooked it for another 6 minutes at high, I would have had chicken jerky. What was left of the sauce was a tad bitter.

    Very tasty! I'm not real fond of meat cooked in the microwave, but I liked the recipe ingredients, so I baked them in the oven. The sauce adhered nicely to the chicken pieces.

    Very good, thank-you, my husband thought it was what he calls "sneaky hot",he enjoyed it and wants it again. My mouth is still tingley. Used skinless, legs. The only problem I had was after the first 6 minutes I took the chicken out to turn it over and the sauce had heavily congealed, so I spooned it into a cup and poured 3 or 4 more tablespoons of sherry in and whisked it up, put the chicken back in and poured the thinned sauce over it. When it was done, (8 minutes) the sauce had thickened again and coated the chicken nicely, without adding any more cornstarch. It will be a repeat. Looking forward to cold left overs. Dorothy
