Crispy Honey Garlic Chicken made at home is SO much better and tastier than from any restaurant and makes a perfect, quick dinner, especially on a busy week night.

If you have never tried a Honey Garlic Chicken recipe, now is definitely the time.

We used to have a few good Asian take-away restaurants close to home, but they have all disappeared to the bigger malls, which I so hate going to.

I had seen various recipes for something similar, with a small change here and there, but I never looked closely at any of them.

Boy, was I surprised when I realized exactly what I was making ! One of my old favorites which I always, but always ordered at one of our Chinese Restaurants.

The meal looks so simple. However, it is packed with flavor, and other than Basmati Rice (or your favorite), this makes a delicious dinner.

We have had it a couple of times already, and it always comes out perfectly.

And because it is such a simple, uncomplicated recipe, I love it even more ! 

Perhaps more important – no strange, unheard of ingredients, which I often find in Asian cuisine.
