Very good. I used bnls snlss chicken thighs and Thai sweet chili sauce for the pepper sauce and Penzy's BBQ 3001 for chili powder (don't like chili powder). I didn't have any steak sauce so it was left out. Served it over rice. The sauce was SO good.

Hi there! While we haven't tried this recipe with boneless chicken, it will work. However, the cooking time will be less than bone-in chicken. Cook until chicken is no longer pink inside. Enjoy!

Can vegetable oil or light-tasting olive oil be used instead of the butter?

My husband really liked the barbeque sauce. I made more than the recipe called for because the recipe seemed kind of skimpy. The chicken was very tender. Easy to make and I will make this again for sure.
