Spicy Honey Garlic Chicken

Spicy Honey Garlic Chicken

Who doesn’t love chicken that is crispy, spicy, and sweet!  This recipe I created for “Springer Mountain Farms” will surely be a hit for date night or family dinner.  In this particular recipe, I pair it with steamed rice.  For those who are #glutenfree, you have to replace the soy sauce with coconut aminos and you are in for the win!

If you want to cut back on fried foods, you can also do this recipe in your #airfryer.  After step one, pre-heat your air fryer to 375 degrees, spray your air fryer basket with oil, and add your chicken; spray your chicken and cook for 5-7 mins, then turn and cook for another 5 mins.  (Chefnote: do this in batches, so you don’t overcrowd the air fryer). Continue to step two and complete the cooking process.
