Honeymoon Chicken

The mac & cheese was a much better choice! Made with sharp cheddar, gruyere, parmesan, and fontina, you can really pick up the depth of flavor and variety of cheese used. It was nice and golden brown on top and creamy in the middle, just as it should be.

The original honey dusted combo was great. They give you big pieces of chicken that are juicy and crispy. It’s not flashy. It’s just chicken done right. The flavor gets inside the meat rather than just lightly coating the chicken skin.

I love a restaurant that treats bread with respect. Often times, bread is treated as a throw-in that neither adds nor detracts from a meal. Indeed, the honey butter rolls much more than an afterthought. In fact, they almost steal the show. Warm, sweet, and buttery, the rolls really complement the chicken and bring a sweet and salty element to the meal that leaves you wanting more.

Although I enjoyed my meal, given HC’s distance from my home, I knew I had to try their signature hot honey dipped chicken. I ordered another 3-piece mixed combo and didn’t regret it. It’s not really hot so if you’re not a fan of spicy food, I think you will enjoy HC’s hot honey dipped chicken. You get the subtle sweetness of the sauce combined with the crunchiness of the fried chicken. As my mom would say, “it made my tastebuds clap.”

Overall, HC was thoroughly enjoyable. It’s a little bit out of my way to be a regular customer but I’m almost glad it’s not too close because, if it were, I’d be there every week. There are a few other things I hope to try, including their sandwiches and chicken bites (I’m a sucker for boneless chicken), and I can’t wait to go back. If you’re looking for a new chicken place, look no further.
