Pumpkin Cinnamon Baked Moink Box Chicken and Savory Herbed Waffles! OH, and please don’t forget the Spicy Maple Syrup!

Cinnamon Baked Chicken

My friends over at Moink Box recently gifted me a Monthly Moink Box, and I absolutely LOVE their chicken, so I was excited to create this cozy recipe for National Comfort Food Day!

Knowing where my meats/fish come from is EXTREMELY important to me, and I trust Moink Box! It’s owned and operated by farmers, who are committed to offering humanely raised & ethically sourced meats and fish. LOVE IT!

The quality is impressive; I especially noticed the difference in the chicken compared to regular grocery store bought chicken. The way it looks, cooks, and how fabulous it tastes! I am forever changed!

By the way, I ended up using pulverized Pumpkin Cinamon Ancient Grain Granola for the breading {since I did not have any other flour in the house }, and it turned out to be the best. breading. ever!

I love it when things just work out!
