Tips for making honey butter garlic chicken

• I use chicken thighs, but if you love chicken breasts those will work to.
  
• Cut into pieces so it cooks faster and you getmore delicious sauce on more areas.
• A cast iron skillet works great for this. It gets super hot and adds fantastic caramelization to the chicken.
• I love this chicken over jasmine rice or even mashed potatoes.

A weeknight dinner doesn’t get much easier than this. My family said this was a keeper, and they’re my worst critics at times. I was a happy mom knowing I have another no-fuss meal everybody loves.
