Earlier this week, I wanted to post a recipe that I had tried. It was a honey and soy baked chicken recipe. Instead of baking, we decided to grill it. I love chicken and I especially love it grilled using a charcoal grill. I don't normally use a recipe when we're grilling chicken but I decided to give this one a try. It's pretty similar to what I do, soy & garlic, S&P but this recipe included honey and olive oil.
When I started to blog about it, I realized I had forgotten what website I found the recipe from. I looked and looked and looked but I just couldn't find the recipe. It was really starting to annoy me. I looked all through my internet history for Friday and Saturday since I found the recipe Friday night and cooked the chicken Saturday. I could not find it anywhere so I could not blog about it.
I was looking in my recipe folder under my Favorites today for no particular reason and what did I find? The recipe. Why didn't I think to check there? Oh I know, because I was SURE I didn't add the recipe to my favorite files. Silly me. OK so that probably wasn't funny to you but it was kind of funny for me. Here is the recipe. Thought I'd pass it along since I thought it was pretty good.
