Cooking Instructions

  1. 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. 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. 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. 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.
