I will not expense spices/oils since most of us have them on hand.

Sounds great! I was looking for a different recipe for chicken this week. Have some drumsticks and breasts (DH doesn't like dark meat) that I want to use. I might have to try this.
I'm just wondering what the purpose is for the corn syrup? I've never used it, and don't know if it's the same or similar as HFCS, but would prefer to avoid it (probably enough of that in the ketchup ;). I'm wondering if it's necessary, or if there's an alternative. ??
Thanks for the cheap and easy meal idea, S!
You know I am not really sure! I will look into it and see. I am wonderingif it would be in substitutions in the back of a cookbook?
