Why we Love Using Chicken Thighs for this Recipe:

Chicken thighs are actually the tastiest part of the chicken and also the best value.

Sticky Chicken Thighs – Yum. We like using chicken thighs to make this delicious meal and thighs are definitely one of our favorite parts of the bird and super affordable! Chicken thighs always cook up tender and moist and are one of the most flavorful parts of the chicken. Don’t miss out!

Chicken Thigh Tip: to save even more money, buy chicken thighs with skin and bones.  You can easily remove both and save some money on the meal.

If you’ve never tried sticky honey chicken, you are in for a real treat, and it may become one of your favorite family meals!
