I made this last week. My husband and I loved the sauce. I did add almost 2 tsp. of Tabasco to the honey and warmed it in the microwave for a few seconds to make “hot honey” – this sauce was so flavorful and easy! The only complaint was the tenderloins were somewhat dry on the ends. So, tonight I am trying this again with boneless, skinless chicken thighs. I’ve been craving the sauce for days!
