Try this outstanding twist on barbecue sauce from my Start Simple chapter in KITCHEN 101.

Spicy Honey Glazed Chicken Recipe On Grill Or In Oven

Are you bored a best chicken breast recipe to add to your dinner rotation? Lots of people like to grill and what’s great about my Spicy Honey Glazed Chicken recipe is you can throw it on the grill or cook it in the oven.  The rub gives it the perfect blend of spice and finished it off with a honey glaze.  We don’t grill much at our house so I usually prepare this simple chicken recipe in the oven.

Honey Glazed Chicken Recipe Is Diabetic Recipe

In KITCHEN 101, I highlight diabetic recipes with a “D” and that’s the healthiest way to eat. I give you so many delicious and easy chicken options that fit into the diabetic guidelines.  Never sacrifice flavor but simple diabetic recipes for quick meals. I think you’ll find this the best chicken breast recipe for a fast dinner that makes quite a statement.

Do You Have A Basting Brush?

If you don’t have a basting brush, here’s the best basting brush I recommend!  I like the silicon brushes because they are easy to use and clean.  I also think the silicon brushes spread whatever you need easier.  This is a gadget that many people don’t have but inexpensive and it seems I am always grabbing for it to baste chicken or even a glaze on a dessert.  This comes with two sizes
