Variations on Honey Glaze for Chicken
This honey glazed chicken recipe is quite adaptable! For a tropical flavor, try swapping the orange juice for pineapple juice! Use gluten-free flour or cornstarch instead of all-purpose flour and swap out the soy sauce for tamari or coconut aminos to make the dish gluten-free.
