This recipe looks so familiar. About 6 months ago, I was working as a live-in maid for a Canadian family, and I learned almost the same recipe from them. They used to make this crispy honey garlic chicken at home, and it always smelled so good in the kitchen. I remember how simple it was but very tasty, especially the honey garlic sauce. I’ve tried making it a few times myself. Thanks for sharing this, it brought back good memories for me.
