Nothing rounds out a kick of heat like a little sweet. This easy sweet and spicy chicken works well as an appetizer, or a main dish and is great served with rice and veggies, or in a bowl of pan fried noodles.

The simple honey, soy, ginger sauce really gets the taste buds rolling and the Spicy Dizzy Dust follows through with a smack of flavor and heat. Browning the chicken well is important, so don’t hesitate to use a higher heat for thinner pieces of chicken. Thicker pieces (especially bone in) will take a lot more time and you’ll need to use a lower heat so they don’t over brown.
