Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use skinless chicken for this recipe?
Yes, skinless chicken can be used, but keep in mind that the skin helps retain moisture and adds flavor. If using skinless pieces, consider reducing the baking time slightly to prevent drying out.
Can I make this recipe on the grill?
Absolutely! To grill, coat the chicken with the honey and Heinz 57 mixture, then grill over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Keep an eye on the chicken to avoid burning the sugars in the sauce.
What can I do with leftovers?
Leftover honey and spice chicken can be shredded and used in tacos, salads, or sandwiches. It's perfect for adding flavor to a Chicken Almond Salad or for making a quick wrap with fresh veggies and tortillas.
