About

Candied Chicken has the perfect balance of savory and sweet, with a caramelized top that makes everyone giddy! Candied Chicken's syrupy glaze is thick and luscious, a lip-smackingly good combination; it has notes of garlic, mustard, brown sugar, tomato, and Worcestershire sauce, all of which pair beautifully with the tender chicken. Serve this over rice so you don't miss a morsel!
