Sweet and tangy, honey chicken is great with steamed rice and vegetables. This easy recipe features America’s favorite meat, the most common type of poultry around the globe. Chicken wasn’t always a mainstay of the American diet. Before the 20th century, chicken was reserved for special occasions or Sunday dinners. Industrialized chicken farming after World War II made the meat more affordable. Versatile and high in protein, chicken suits most palates and can be enhanced with a variety of marinades and sauces, including honey.
