Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.

When sauce is ready, pour 1/4 to 1/3 of the sauce over the chicken. Cover the top of the pan in another layer of aluminum foil.
4. Bake for 15-20 minutes then remove foil cover, flip chicken pieces, and pour another 1/4 to 1/3 of the sauce over the chicken. Bake for another 15 minutes uncovered.
5. Serve chicken over rice. Use the remaining sauce as a final coating prior to serving.
