"This is an old CL recipe that appeared as an appetizer. I serve it as dinner over rice and think it's fantastic that way."

This was really good. I got lazy and didn't follow the last few steps. I just baked the chicken and served with some of the honey sauce spooned on top. But I think it was still great. Thanks!
