Honey-Teriyaki Chicken

We tried this one last week and it was wonderful for three reasons. 1) It took little to no effort. 2) It took only about 40 mins. 3) It was delicious! By now you know I love to cook. I also like to make fancy complicated things, but I don't have the time to do that every day. This was the perfect weekday meal without compromising the flavor that I love. Plus I love chicken thighs!
