Honey Teriyaki Chicken



















Gorgeous weekend.  70 degree weather, beautiful blue sky, lots of rain the past week so everything looks great and lots to do but no agenda.  Just wanted a weekend to garden.  Transplanted a pear and apple tree to the backyard, 6 lilac bushes closer to the house, and moved a few things around in the front yard.  We quit around lunchtime and had some leftover veggie chili that had been in the freezer and spent the day sitting in the shade Smurfing and admiring the garden and the sky.  For dinner, we are always looking for new variations on marinades and sauces and I found this one this week and asked Tim to try it.  Absolutely amazing!  I couldn't stop eating it was so good.
