The Sunday Dinner: Minty Fresh


While I am always open to trying new things, when it comes to food, I certainly know which flavors I prefer. I am also a firm believer in the school of thought that if two things taste good in their own right, than there is a good chance they are going to taste fantastic together (obvious exceptions to this rule being ice cream, pickles, etc.) That said, when I came across this recipe for honey mint glazed chicken I was rather intrigued. I liked mint, I liked honey, who doesn't like chicken? I could only imagine what they would taste like all thrown in together. Turns out, pretty damn good. So for this weeks Sunday Dinner track down a grill near you and try this recipe on for size. It's simple, tasty and perfect for a summer night.


Honey Mint Glazed Chicken

Aside from the chicken, I also made a bit of rice, but just before it was done cooking I mixed in a watered-down version of my leftover honey mint glaze, and I feel that it gave the rice a slightly sweeter flavor that complimented the chicken nicely.

As for a drink to go along with the meal; your grilling, so beer should be a no brainer. Perhaps try something a little creamier like Boddingtons, a pub ale from Manchester, England.
