Honey Chicken

When we had Honey Chicken, long back, from a Chinese Restaurant I just loved it; the smell, the taste, the glazing- everything was attractive. From that time onward, I was thinking about giving it a try. After a long wait I made it. :) This is very simple recipe and requires very less ingredients also. You can prepare this Honey Chicken as a starter or as a side dish for noodles, white rice or fried rice. Your kids will love it.
