Ingredients
UnitsScale
For the Chicken:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
For the Hot Honey Glaze:
1/2cup honey
2 tablespoons hot sauce
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken: Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Cook the Chicken: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish.
Make the Hot Honey Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the honey, hot sauce, butter, vinegar, garlic powder, and paprika. Cook over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and bubbly.
Glaze the Chicken: Pour the hot honey glaze over the cooked chicken, making sure to coat each piece evenly.
Bake: Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the glaze is sticky and the chicken is cooked through.
Serve: Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your hot honey chicken hot!
Notes
You can adjust the amount of hot sauce in the glaze to suit your spice preference.
For extra crispy chicken, you can double coat the chicken in the flour mixture before frying.
