This was VERY yummy. It was a winner all the way around, everyone liked it, including my stepson! I wish the sauce had been a little thicker, but that's my only comment. I couldn't find boneless, skinless thighs. I removed the skin myself, but couldn't get the bones out. I just cooked it for the maximum 6 hours & it was fully cooked & quite good. In a pinch I'm sure you could substitute breast meat & cook it 4 hours on low & I bet it would be fine. My hubby insists that thigh meat has so much more flavor & even more flavor when you cook it with the bone. He didn't mind the bones at all. I did actually add more bell pepper & carrot than the recipe stated & I thought it was good that way, but I suppose that's a matter of personal preference & maybe that's why my sauce wasn't thick.
