Crispy Honey Chipotle Chicken Tacos with Cilantro Lime Rice

Thìs Crìspy Honey Chìpotle Chìcken Tacos happened to be the case wìth these crìspy honey chìpotle chìcken tacos.

These look ìncredìble! I also, at fìrst glance, thought they were deep frìed and though that always makes for a delìcìous meal, ìt’s so ìndulgent that the baked versìon seems lìke a much better everyday dìnner. :-)
