This is the final recipe in my Magnolia Table four part series! And it is a good one! Ready and on the table in about 45 minutes, this is a quick and easy recipe for you and your family to enjoy! I served over brown rice with black pepper and a touch of butter added. This Honey Garlic Chicken Recipe was easy and delicious!
Modifications: Honey Garlic Chicken Breast Recipe
The recipe calls for chicken thighs. I don’t like thigh meat. Not sure why, I just don’t! My hubby thinks I am a little weird, and that is ok. So I made mine with boneless chicken breast, cut up. The only difference is I did not get the “charred” look from keeping the thighs under the broiler. I was afraid I would dry out my chicken. I could have made the breasts whole and charred them, but honestly is was very good the way I made it too! Otherwise, I made the recipe exactly the same as they suggested!

I don’t like chicken thighs either. I prefer chicken breast. And this sounds delish!
Kelly
LOL! I will have to tell my hubby I am not alone in that opinion!

I made this tonight – it’s easy. Great with chicken thighs. It was very tart, I would cut the vinegar in half.
Kelly
I am a firm believer in adjusting ingredients to your own tastes!

This wasn’t a hit in our house. The 1 cup of ketchup seems oddly excessive given the amounts of the other ingredients to the point where I wondered if it was a mistake in the recipe. Even with using thighs and broiling, I’m not sure how she got so much brown color in her photo if she used the same ingredients for the sauce. I used chicken breasts and still broiled them. The sauce made per the instructions was very red and thin. It essentially tasted like you were dipping plain grilled chicken into a mix of ketchup and honey. Could not taste much of the garlic. We ate it, and it wasn’t awful or anything, just not anything we’d ever make again.
