As a stay at home parent, I’m constantly looking for new recipes to make that will keep my family happy and interested in the meals I prepare. Recently, I stumbled across a recipe for fried chicken with honey and hot sauce that sounded like it would be both delicious and easy to make. After giving it a try, I knew this was a keeper that I’d be making again soon!

To begin making the fried chicken with honey and hot sauce, I started by prepping the chicken. I used four boneless, skinless chicken breasts, which I cut into small pieces. Once cut up, I put the chicken into a large bowl and added in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 2 teaspoons paprika, salt, and pepper. After mixing everything together until the chicken was fully coated with the flour mixture, I set it aside.

Next, it was time to fry the chicken. I heated 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once heated up, I added in the chicken pieces and let them cook for about 8 minutes on each side until golden brown. Once cooked throughly, I removed them from the heat and set them aside on a plate while I prepared the honey and hot sauce mixture. In a small bowl, I combined 1/4 cup of honey with 1/4 cup of hot sauce until combined.

After preparing the honey and hot sauce mixture, it was time to assemble everything! First, I placed the cooked chicken pieces onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Then, I poured the honey and hot sauce mixture over each piece of chicken and spread it evenly over each piece with a spoon. Once everything was covered evenly with the sweet and spicy sauce, I put them into an oven preheated to 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes until lightly browned and cooked throughly.

Once everything had finished baking in the oven, my fried chicken with honey and hot sauce was ready to enjoy! The sweet heat from the honey mixed with the kick from the hot sauce created an amazing flavor combination that my entire family loved! We served it with some roasted potatoes on the side for an incredible meal that we all agreed was worth making again soon!
