Sweet Honey Chicken Fillet


http://mynewstep.com/?p=139


I found the above recipe online and decided to try it since I have most of the ingredients available. =)

Note:
I used chili sauce packs which we took back from our various fast-food gobbling sessions. 5 packets generally = 2 tablespoons worth.
And I skipped the honey, cause I felt it was quite unnecessary with the sugar in there.


The final product turned out pretty acceptable. ^_^ At least the 2 guinea pigs which were my unfortunate experimental victims didn't complain too much about it. ^_^
