Good As Gold Chicken (Like Kfc's and Boston's)

I went with suggestions from some of the other reviewers and used more honey (2 tablespoons) and a good bit of seasoned salt (1 teaspoon). The chicken was good, but the flavor was more subtle than I would have hoped. I also expected the sweet honey flavor to be more pronounced but it was the lime I could taste most. I was reminded more of a mild mojo flavoring than anything. I would have enjoyed something a bit more bold. As another reviewer suggested, soy sauce may be a good addition to this recipe. My girlfriend and I both still enjoyed this dish, I was just expecting something more.
