We are about to break into full holiday party season, and that means it's time to cook! Whether you're having a form sit-down dinner or just serving finger foods while your guests mingle, this Sweet and Spicy Glazed Chicken Recipe is sure to be a hit! Grocery stores sell sweet and spicy sauces made by a long list of companies from around the world, so why make your own? For one, shelf-stable sauces from grocery stores are often loaded with preservatives, and cost a fortune for a small bottle. Save yourself the preservatives and some money by making this sauce yourself at home, and tailor the spiciness to your family’s preference by adjusting the amount of red pepper flakes used.
