I found this recipe a while back and had to try it. My husband and I fell in love with it. He has to have it at least twice a week. Sometimes I use boneless, skinless chicken breast in place of the drumsticks--the breasts take less cooking time. Enjoy!

1 cup low sodium soy sauce
⅓ cup buffalo sauce
4 cloves garlic, minced
⅓ cup honey
4 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
2 tablespoons olive oil

  • Roll up chicken breast and secure with a toothpick, about 1½ inches (4 cm) apart. Cut the chicken breast in half.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, place chicken rolls inside the pan, cook until inside is no longer pink, about 6 minutes on each side. Remove from pan.
  • Add reserved marinade to the pan and cook until caramelized, about 3 minutes.
