Instructions
Creating Irresistible Hot Honey Chicken is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by slicing the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces for quicker cooking.
2. Marinate: In a bowl, combine the hot honey, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Add the chicken pieces and toss until well coated. Cover and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
3. Heat the Pan: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a splash of olive oil to coat the bottom.
4. Cook the Chicken: Once the pan is hot, add the marinated chicken pieces. Sear for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. Add Extra Sauce: Pour in any leftover marinade to the pan during the last couple of minutes of cooking, allowing it to thicken slightly.
6. Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish the chicken with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
7. Serve Immediately: Transfer the chicken to a serving plate while it’s hot, ensuring everyone gets to enjoy its deliciousness.
By following these straightforward steps, you’ll have an incredible dish ready to impress your family and friends.
