Farm Fare: Maple Walnut Chicken

It’s March and sap will soon begin flowing from maple trees, providing farmers with the sweet liquid they need to make delicious NH Maple Syrup. One of our favorite East Hill Farm recipes is Maple Walnut Chicken. The secret is to use only pure maple syrup, preferably harvested in NH. Add this recipe to your menu for a delicious and sweet treat.
