I made this for my wife and I today, I cut it in half because there are only 2 of us at home now. We really enjoyed it a very good blend of hot and sweet. Being garlic nut's I double the amount which I always do for any recipe. It reminded us a lot of General Taso's chicken, but that has no honey in it. It may be a little spicy for some folks, but that can be easily adjusted. I'm always looking for Sunday crook pot meals, and this one fit the bill today. Thank You for sharing this.
