Question Have you ever made this recipe without the dates?
HI Sarah. It sounds like the dates are really important part of the recipe. We have amazing chicken recipes on the website to try.
I have two jars of Silan (date syrup) could I substitute that for the chopped-up dates? If so, how much would I add to make the glaze?
Thanks,
Gail
