Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1.5 lbs chicken thighs boneless, skinless
  • 0.5 cup hot sauce
  • 0.25 cup honey
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring spoons
  • Measuring cups

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the hot sauce and honey to create the hot honey glaze.
Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the seasoned chicken thighs to the hot skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and golden brown.
  3. Reduce heat to low, pour the hot honey glaze over the cooked chicken, and toss to coat evenly. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly.
Serving
  1. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as rice or roasted vegetables.

Notes

For extra crispiness, you can broil the chicken for a few minutes after glazing. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preferred spice level.
