Honey Chicken #Recipe

Another product of Pinterest meal. 🙂 This recipe comes from Real Mom Kitchen. I was nervous about this recipe because it has ginger in it and while it smells good, it seems anytime I try to do anything with ginger it doesn’t turn out. We all actually really liked this chicken! Monkey is the only one that gave me grief about eating it, surprisingly because she LOVES honey on her chicken. Once I drizzled a little extra honey over it she ate it up. This recipe is going into my rotation. It was REALLY easy to make and tasted great. The original author said she doubles the amount of sauce and serves it over rice. I missed the whole doubling of sauce note! It was fine without it, though. I did serve it over rice.
