Sticky Black Vinegar chicken has been on my hit list for ages and we finally got around to doing it. There are no substitutes for the black vingegar!

There is a Chinese restaurant a bit of a drive from me that serves something like this (but as a whole chicken) and I have been obsessed with it ever since I tasted it. If we are ever in the vicinity at dinner time, we head over and get this dish.

After some discussion with Bree and needing a chicken recipe with honey for our Honey for Life recipes, we have finally nailed it. Not exactly the same as the restaurant version, but I might say, could be better! Big call, but I will be making this on regular rotation. Serve it with some steamed rice, some stir fried greens like bok choy or even broccoli and green beans. YUM!

Chicken dinner is ready!
