    My Israeli inlaws brought me silan and I googled a recipe with it and found this! It seems to simple to be as amazing as it is but it really is good. Don’t judge but the sauce will mix with the chicken fat and gelatin if you use bone in and it’s great over rice. I’m so glad you had this posted because this is how I found your blog and now I visit almost daily.

    Hi! Thank you for your date honey chicken recipe. When I was so blessed to go to Israel last year the hotels and kibbutz’s we stayed at had chicken drum sticks that I think were made this way. I can’t wait to try.
