Okay… this is one of those meals where you start cooking “just something quick” and suddenly you’re standing over the pan eating straight from it. The first time I made this, I added too much honey thinking it’ll be amazing. It was… but also way too sweet. Now I balance it a bit more and…

Sometimes plain chicken just feels… boring. Same seasoning, same texture, nothing to look forward to. This is what I make when I want something crispy without going into full “deep-frying project” mode.
