Bring summertime flavor to the table with this moist chicken entree that will remind you of backyard barbecues. The hint of heat is tempered by sweet honey, but for pickier palates, simply decrease the cayenne pepper. —Lisa Gnyp, Shelby Township, Michigan

We loved this, ate it with mashed potatoes and a salad and it was so good. So easy and so tasty

Sorry, I just didn't care for this, dry rub was a little overwhelming and honey sauce didn't stay on chicken at all. I made more of honey/vinegar mixture and use as a dipping sauce which was much better. Going to use the leftovers for chimichangas as recommended which sounds wonderful.

Wow this was delicious chicken! It was easy, tasty and healthy! I followed the recipe , cutting the cayenne to 1/2 teaspoon and it was perfect, wouldn't add more than that. My son (9 years) and my hubby thought it was very good. This will be made again for sure,I always have these ingredients on have too! It went great with buttermilk mashed potatoes and corn on the cob. Thank you for the recipe.

Very good. I already had everything in my pantry for this, just had to go buy the chicken.

Oh so yummy! A little too spicy for my children's taste (they don't care for much if any heat), but my husband and I LOVED it!! I will make this again.

Quick, yummy, moist, flavorful. Loved the sauce, would make extra for the veggies.

Very yummy! Had a mild spicy flavor with a hint of barbecue! Loved it! Next time I might add more honey though, since there wasn't a lot of honey flavor to it.
