Notes
Make sure not to overcook the chicken, as it can become dry. Check its internal temperature; it should reach 165°F (75°C). You can add a splash of lime juice or vinegar for a zesty twist. If you want more sauce, just double the honey and garlic ingredients. For variations, use chicken thighs for richer flavor, or add vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli while cooking.
