Kickin' Chicken with Honey

 

This recipe was inspired by 4ft (my 9-year-old) who loves dipping chicken in honey. So as I was digging around the cupboard for the chili powder, I saw the honey and thought it'd be fun change to glaze the chicken with it. Plus, hello sweet with a little spice kick is always delicious. I figured I couldn't lose. I was right -- it had just the right amount of kick with a sticky sweet glaze. The eaters of the family loved it (Grumpers never eats anything).
