Description

The recipe won't take much time. This is a rather interesting way to prepare chicken in an orange-honey sauce, slightly spicy and incredibly delicious. You can cook this dish in a skillet, frying it in breadcrumbs, or bake the chicken in the oven. Serve hot.

    1. Melt the butter in the microwave. If the honey is crystallized, melt it as well using a double boiler. Combine the butter and honey in a deep bowl. If desired, the recipe for chicken in orange-honey sauce can be slightly adjusted to taste by replacing the butter with vegetable oil—olive oil, for example.
