I like the spice rub on the chicken although I'm not sure what the jalapeno does to the chicken. I used 1 jalapeno instead of half since it is so hard to keep 1/2 of a jalapeno. Not spicy at all, but the taste is rather good. I also used chicken breasts instead. Something simple to put together and tasty.

Totally amazing! I am a creature of stuffed chicken, but I thought I would try this one... so glad I did! I used 4 chicken breasts and the seasoning was perfect to really cake it on! I also added a dash of red pepper flakes to the rub too. This is great with a side of fruit salad. Thank you!!!

I prepared as directed...but just didn't like it at all. The spices were overwhelming to me.

Good flavor, repeatable. For two chicken breasts I would at least halve the rub and probably cut back the cinnamon a little bit more. The sauce was fine but I'd prefer to try it with fresh jalapenos next time. I think the can kept the sauce from thickening. It's nice to find a dish with flavor so I'll probably make this again with adjustments for the amount of chicken.

Fantastic as is! Only change I made was to added more jalapeno to the mix but my husband liked it so much he asked me to make it tomorrow night too!

didn't care for - made once according to recipe and then tried adjusting spices more to our liking - something is just not working. the sauce is an excellent idea.

I love this recipe! I used chicken breasts rather than a whole chicken, but it still did well. The cinnamon was great. The only thing I added was a bit more jalapeño. I also poured instead of basted, but overall 5 stars!

Just got done eating this for dinner... I was WONDERFUL!!!! Even my 6 yr old and 2 yr old liked it! It was delicious! This will be a permanent recipe for us. I used 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts- and the amount in recipe was perfect. I couldn't get my sauce to thicken, but it was great thin and spooned over anyway. Only change for next time, double the sauce for dipping!! A+++++

this chicken is absolutely fantastic. I would recommend using a whole jalapeno... maybe even more as it is sooo nice to have on the chicken. Next time I think I'm going to double the sauce as my boyfriend went looking for extra and there was none. I did use half the salt as the chicken broth adds quite a bit. But as NewCook commented... don't be afraid of the cinnamon. It's wonderful! This will be made over and over again.
