🍯 Why Honey Makes This Recipe Shine

Honey isn’t just a sweetener—it’s the star ingredient:

• Creates a rich, caramelized glaze

• Balances savory and acidic flavors

• Adds depth you can’t get from processed sugars

Using high-quality, raw honey elevates this dish with natural complexity and bold flavor.

💡 Pro Tips

• Don’t overcook the sauce—honey can burn quickly

• Add a small pat of butter at the end for a richer finish

• For extra crispiness, sear chicken skin-side down first

• Double the sauce if you like extra glaze for rice or veggies
