Honey Bees Need Water

To keep their hives strong, beekeepers must place them in locations that will provide abundant nectar sources as well as water.

Preheat oven to 425°.
Rinse chicken and pat dry. Set aside.
In a shallow bowl combine next 5 ingredients.
In another bowl whisk together mayonnaise and honey. Coat chicken with honey mixture. Then roll in nut mixture until well coated.
