Note

This glaze can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Stir well before using as separation may occur.

For a vegan option, substitute the honey with an equal amount of agave nectar or maple syrup.

Apply the glaze towards the end of cooking to prevent the sugars from burning, especially when broiling or grilling at high temperatures.

This glaze works exceptionally well on chicken thighs, pork chops, salmon fillets, and even roasted carrots or Brussels sprouts.
