Holy WOW! You guys… this chicken is TO DIE FORRRR. *Extremely Kid-Friendly*

I started experimenting with new chicken recipes at the end of last year. Mainly because my kids were getting tired of the same old protein I was serving them. I decided to try a sweet-ish take on the chicken and man, I sh*t you not… they DEVOUR this recipe.

I started out baking 1 lb. of chicken, but they are so obsessed with it, I’ve had to double the recipe and there are never leftovers.

Serve this with a Lemon Rice Pilaf and your family’s favorite veggies. It’s a fan favorite in the Ireland house, and only takes about 30 minutes.

Enjoy!
