TIPS & TRICKS
Trim any excess skin from the chicken. You may lightly salt the chicken pieces for extra depth of flavor. 
You can double the chicken pieces (up to 3 lbs) and simply increase the soy sauce and honey to about 1/3 cup. The rest of the ingredients remain the same. 
You can serve this over rice, noodles, or simply pair with your favorite vegetables!
