A Quick Honey Garlic Chicken with a potent garlicky sauce is a perfect dinner recipe! For all you busy people out there. This Chicken recipe is ready on minutes and your dinner is ready in a jiffy. I love the garlic and soya sauce. You can use it on chicken, rice or veggies as it tastes aromatic.
The treacly honey, the soy sauce, the piquancy of garlic and a tinge of spice from the red pepper flakes. This sauce coats the chicken like a glaze and simmers onto the plate. I had to go out for lunch with my friends and had to cook for the kiddos before leaving. I made this Quick (jhatpat) Chicken as it is so easy and yet so addictive. It was ready in 15 minutes and I could take off for my lunch without any worries.
