Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 chicken thighs or breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Hot Honey Sauce

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Topping

  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Season Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs or breasts dry and season evenly with salt and black pepper on both sides to enhance the flavor.
  2. Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  3. Prepare Hot Honey Sauce: In a small saucepan, warm the honey over low heat. Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, allowing the flavors to infuse for 2-3 minutes without boiling.
  4. Top with Feta: Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a serving plate and sprinkle generously with crumbled feta cheese for a creamy and tangy contrast.
  5. Drizzle Sauce and Serve: Drizzle the warm hot honey sauce over the topped chicken and serve immediately to enjoy the blend of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors.

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs for juicier meat or breasts for a leaner option.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes according to your preferred spice level.
  • Make sure not to boil the honey sauce to preserve its sweetness and prevent burning.
  • Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
