"I love breaded chicken, but I don't like the fat and calories of it fried. I came up with this from 7 different recipes from RecipeZaar, pulling what I liked out of them. I made this for my niece and nephew and they loved it!"

WOW!! This chicken was moist and tender and absolutley delicious. I would recommend to anyone. Much healthier and better than fried chicken. I used regular honey because that was all I had. Try them!!! Thanks for posting!!
