Chipotle Honey Chicken
This Copycat Chipotle Honey Chicken is my new obsession! Tender & juicy chicken marinated in a sweet & spicy chipotle honey sauce. It's the perfect balance of oooh! and OOOH! This sweet and smoky chicken tastes just like Chipotle’s limited-time favorite and is even better piled into burrito bowls at home. Finish it with a drizzle of honey for that extra touch of delicious!
