It was a Saturday and it had rained the entire afternoon resulting in a torridly humid evening.There was a humid wind blowing throughout the evening and the overcast conditions did not help the cause.A finely chilled bottle of beer and with this chicken as a starter offered all the help that we needed.This was prepared with honey and had a lovely sweet tinge in it.
All of us loved it!
