Chicken Honey Recipes - By: Esther George

Chicken honey is better than many other honey recipes because it has protein and it is delicious and very easy to make. Honey and sugar are combined with other strong or light seasoning and added to the chicken.

There are many variations of this recipe. Many of them add fruits, vegetables, spices or a special marinades to give this recipe different flavors. Honey chicken is often done with soy sauce garlic, lemon, chipotle, pineapple, and/or ginger. Use other ingredients such as red peppers before you add the honey. Other more exotic spices are used to make it fragrant and delicious and they include cardamom, turmeric, cinnamon, and many varieties of pepper.

It is important to use the right amount and kind of honey. Really alter the taste or make it too sweet. However, if you don't use enough and have other strong seasoning or flavors, then you would not be able to get the tangy sweet taste of texture of the chicken honey. A typical amount to use is for every piece of chicken add about use 1 tablespoon of honey. Keep in mind that if your honey recipe has a salty ingredient or you are planning to bake it, then you can add about 1 1/2 tablespoon of honey for every piece of chicken. Always refer to your specific recipe, especially when your recipe has pineapple, lemon or garlic.

Add pineapple, but keep in mind that pineapples are sweet so it will sweeten your overall flavor. When you use lemon in your honey recipe, it will break down the sweeteners in it, so you may need to use more than 1 tablespoon per piece of chicken. Also, garlic, cardamom, pepper, soy sauce, and other spices and ingredients can really add very strong flavors so you may need to adjust your recipe accordingly.

Mix your honey well so that it does not crystallize or use honey crystals, especially when cooking this recipe. Most honey recipes have a way of mixing the honey in with the butter or any other liquid in the recipes, such as water or milk. This is because honey is sticky and can be difficult to handle. Another alternative is to use dry honey or crystallized honey that is dry and can easily be mixed or sprinkled into the chicken honey seasoning.
