  3. This was delicious!! I used 2 chicken breasts, 1/4 package of bacon for two people (we were stuffed and had left overs!) Bacon and chicken have different cooking time and temperatures (bacon longer than small pieces of chicken). Next time I make this recipe I will cook the bacon first, drain most of the Greese and then cook the chicken and other ingredients. This will be in regular rotation at our house :-)
    Thank you for the recipe!

  4. Also, due to my husbands dislike for nuts in his dinner I sub’d the almonds for chopped Water Chestnuts. Yum!

  6. Can you clarify the measurements of the sauce? It’s incredibly confusing. Is it 3 Tbsp of honey, and 1 tsp of the dry ingredients? And how much lime juice? 1 tsp, 1/2 lime, or a whole lime? And why is “chili powder” listed in the ingredients but not in the recipe itself?

    Thanks.

    Yes, it does seem a little confusing, doesn’t it? It’s a really old recipe, so I’m not sure I can contact the poster.
    However, I would think that when it comes to the cayenne, chili powder, lime juice etc, that it is a matter of preference. I’d use 3tsbp honey, then add the other ingredients until you have the consistency and taste that you prefer.
    I’m sure it’ll turn out great.
