Notes
Honey Garlic Chicken is best served hot. Enjoy it over a bed of rice or with steamed vegetables. Adding a fresh side salad complements this dish nicely. For storage, let the chicken cool completely, then place it in an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Make sure to check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer and adjust the honey to your preference for sweetness. Marinating the chicken in the sauce for a few hours enhances the flavor. You can also add vegetables like bell peppers and broccoli for a one-pan meal.
