EASY SESAME CHICKEN

I love this recipe so much! I found it a couple months ago & since then I’ve made it a few times already. Only thing i tweeked is the amount of ketchup & honey it takes. The ketchup taste was to strong for me so I only put about 1/4 cup of ketchup & I use 1/2 cup of honey & it turns out so good. I also double it so I have a bunch of sauce.

This recipe was super yummy, and I didn’t change a thing about it! (I’m so proud of my self, because I never follow recipes exactly. I always think I have better ideas) It’s perfect as is! My whole family, including my toddler ate it all up. This is definitely going to be a recipe that goes in our family dinner rotation.
