What kind of chicken to use

However, you may also use bone-in chicken thighs, if that’s what you have on hand but, obviously you’ll need to cook them much longer.

The best part of this recipe is that it’s a flavorful meal that comes together with little effort and a short cooking time. 

Honey is one of my pantry staples. I like to have it on hand. It’s great for cooking when I like to add some natural sweetness to recipes. 

Many honey garlic chicken recipes are made with soy sauce, but this one is a little different in that it’s made with balsmic vinegar instead. It gives it a different tang and has far less sodium than soy sauce, even low sodium soy sauce so you have more control over the sodium.
