Spice up your life with this fiery honey glazed chicken. The roasted chicken pieces are delicious on their own but become something really special when you add a fiery sauce inspired by Caribbean cooking.
Scotch bonnet chili is used in this recipe and is one of the hottest chili peppers you can find. Be careful when preparing to wash your hands thoroughly in soapy water afterwards and don't rub your eyes.
