I found a recipe on the internet that simply the image made my mouth water. Reading the recipe I liked it but felt I could make it with a flavor more suited for my taste, which was honey and lime. I seldom ever use a crockpot but this crockpot spicy honey chicken needed time to absorb all the flavors. I only served this alone but I am certain would go great served with mashed potatoes or a rice pilaf.
