Recipe Description

My oh my, this Easy Honey Garlic Chicken recipe is a cracker! Why do I say ‘easy’? Because you probably already have the ingredients for this sitting right there in your cupboard!

The honey and garlic sauce is super simple to make (and also goes amazingly with rice and vegetables if you add those as sides). If you’re on a diet, you can take off the chicken skins but for me the sticky, crispy skin makes the dish! You can also choose between chicken thighs or breasts for this recipe – both work perfectly.

To make Easy Honey Garlic Chicken, you will need the following ingredients:
