FAKEAWAY: CRISPY HONEY CHILLI CHICKEN

Another FAKEAWAY to add to the list, we can’t have enough of these recipes the month of January in our house, especially when you just feel like just kicking back and picking up the phone to dial a quick fix of tasty takeout with lashings of cals to feel extra guilty about after you gorge!!! 🙈

This recipe is so flipping good and I promised I would share it with you after teasing you on my Instagram stories!!! It’s the most delicious dish at home and as great as it is to get a greasy takeaway you’ve got to face the fact that they’re just never going to be good for you, so if you can get better quality and better tasting food by making it at home then why wouldn’t you! If you love Fakeaways as much as I do then this Crispy Honey Chilli Chicken recipe is going to be perfect for you! let’s get started... put down the phone 🙏
