This has to be an AI slop food blog. I refuse to believe a real person makes such terrible recipes. Lists ingredients but doesn’t tell you what to do with them, has you cook the chicken with honey in the pan which will just burn before its cooked, and says things like “glazed the chicken in a brown color”.
