Hot Honey Chicken

A sweet and spicy hot honey glazed chicken recipe that's perfect for busy weeknights.

1. Prep Chicken
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, and the spice blend.
Tip: Ensure the chicken is dry to get a nice sear.
2. Cook Chicken
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes per side until browned and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest.
Tip: Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain a good sear.
3. Make the Hot Honey Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together hot sauce, honey, crème fraîche, mascarpone (if using), and garlic (if desired). Season with salt and pepper, then adjust to taste.
Tip: Taste the sauce and adjust the balance of sweetness and heat as needed.
4. Serve
Slice the rested chicken and drizzle with the hot honey sauce, or brush the sauce on the chicken in the skillet for an even glaze before serving.
