Honey & Cinnamon Chili Chicken
I know I've been quiet on the recipes for a while so I'm kicking off my return from my little sabbatical (sometimes life happens) with this scrumptious chicken recipe.
I felt like something light for sunday lunch and I wanted something sweet.
I always say you can't go wrong with a little bit of honey (wink, those who know know) and this recipe is testament !
​
Cinnamon I love, its one of my favourite seasonings because it works perfectly for sweet and savoury dishes.
You could have some Cinnamon Ice Cream or you could have Cinnamon Glazed Salmon.
Its perfect.
​
And the Chili, well because...always Chili.
