Sweet and Spicy Honey Pepper Chicken: An Incredible 5-Ingredient Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 31 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless chicken thighs or breasts
– 1/2 cup honey
– 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
– 1 tablespoon soy sauce
– Salt and black pepper to taste


Instructions

Creating Sweet and Spicy Honey Pepper Chicken is an enjoyable process. Follow these simple steps:

1. Prep Chicken: Start by trimming any excess fat from the chicken. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces for quicker cooking.
2. Make Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the honey, crushed red pepper flakes, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
3. Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken pieces in a resealable plastic bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
4. Heat Pan: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of cooking oil.
5. Cook Chicken: Once the oil is hot, carefully add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
6. Add Leftover Marinade: If desired, pour any leftover marinade into the skillet during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, allowing it to simmer and thicken slightly.
7. Finish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Allow the chicken to sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors fully before serving.

This step-by-step guide ensures that even novice cooks can create a flavorful and vibrant dish without a hitch.
