Real talk...this honey soy crunch chicken taste even better than it looks (if that's even possible). This ooey gooey, crunchy masterpiece is my new go-to recipe any night of the week. I developed this last week when I wanted to make dinner for my friend Chloe. It was her birthday, and a home-cooked meal is one of her favorite things on earth.
