Spicy and Sticky Date Chicken
I really love date syrup. Not because it's healthier or has less sugar than other sweeteners (it doesn't), I love its rich, dark color and flavor. It can be challenging to work with if you are new to using it because you can't just substitute it for honey or maple syrup. But once you get it right, it is the perfect punch of umami and sweet. This is a perfect winner, chicken dinner when you are in a rush and you still want to serve something absolutely stupendous.
Enjoy this with a side of rice, potatoes or even corn on the cob. I like serving it with a red cabbage salad (See my recipe)
