Honey Tarragon Chicken | Tropical Lunch Recipe

in #food7 years ago (edited)

I live in the tropics where its summer 362 days in the year (including today). So this might not be the season for light meal for most fellow Steemians, but who knows, it was so delicious and so easy to prepare, that I couldn't help myself, had to share.

Njammmm, even it's winter here I would gladly have this on my table :)

awesome! and there are so many variations that you can play with - you can used apples, mango, radishes, figs blue cheese, dry fruits, you name it :)

I will try it for holidays for sure, never used honey in this way must admit but as I love to add new things into my cooking this will be nice to try :)

Here is another one i made, but this time with radishes and mangoes instead of raspberries. but the rest is the same

oh yeah, honey can make a very delicious and juicy chicken (and other meats i'm sure) i discovered it by accident when i didn't have enough oil to fry :)... but it turned out amazing! especially with the cayenne and salt in the mix

will try everything :)))

That looks delicious.
