    Had to make a few adjustments because hubby cant have corn starch and doesn’t like buttermilk. Used regular milk and omitted corn starch. My sauce was a mixture of tom yum sauce and spicy honey. We can’t stop eating this! Thank you!!!

    Letting my chick marinate in the buttermilk mixture, but went ahead and made the sauce, it is really good, adding liquid pepper sauce at a time, think it’s going to be a winner, I never allow sizes of meat or vegs, etc, recommended limit me, always love playing with recipes, tastes outcomes are limitless, will post chicken cooked later
