Honey and Spice Baked Chicken

I love recipes that are kind of 2 in 1 recipes, but don't usually find a lot where I enjoy both of the recipes. This one was right up my alley, although I wasn't too excited about the deep frying of the chimichangas... I love them but it's just so messy and greasy! Anyhow, I thought that I would try it and see how it went... Wowza, am I glad that I did! The whole family was raving over this chicken recipe and especially the chimichangas that are coming up next... My mother in law has been craving some good mexican and this did it for her. I guess I will be making it again very soon!

So, for today's recipe you have the Honey and Spice Baked Chicken. Tune in tomorrow to find out about the Chicken Chimichangas that use your extra chicken!
