I don't want to brag (okay maybe just a little) but oh my goodness this Crispy "Honey" Mustard Chicken is to die for! David said it tastes just like sweet and sour take out. The sauce is sticky and gooey and the chicken is crispy, tender and finger licking good! We enjoy it with steamed broccoli but the options are endless with this one. Over cauliflower fried rice or with stir fried veggies or even over a salad with savoy cabbage and carrots. Honestly, I have eaten this cold from the refrigerator and it even delicious cold!
