Very good...BUT...when brushing the sauce on the chicken, make sure the seeds are seared on both sides, otherwise, the sauce just brushes them off. I'd recommend grilling them at 3 minutes per side to sear the seeds on, then brush the sauce on and finish cooking. Also, since there is a good deal of sugar in the sauce, this might be best done as with a hot side and cool side grill, using the hot side for high heat searing and the cooler side for indirect grilling once the sauce has been applied. This was really good when served with chipotle cheddar mashed potatoes.

This has really good flavor but it is way too spicy. My husband and I love spicy things but it was just insanely hot. I will make it again but with only 1T of chipotle instead of 2!
