Here’s a flavorful recipe for Hot Honey Chicken that combines sweet and spicy elements for a delicious meal:

Ingredients:

For the Hot Honey Sauce:

Instructions:

  1. Marinate the chicken: Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Pour the buttermilk over the chicken and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight in the fridge).
  2. Prepare the flour mixture: In a shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
  3. Coat the chicken: Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting any excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating. Shake off any excess flour.
  4. Fry the chicken: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated chicken thighs. Fry for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C)). Remove the chicken and drain on paper towels.
  5. Make the Hot Honey Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the honey, hot sauce, and red pepper flakes (if using). Heat over low, stirring until well combined and warm.
  6. Serve: Drizzle the hot honey sauce over the fried chicken or toss the chicken in the sauce for an even coating.
  7. Garnish: Serve with additional hot sauce on the side, if desired. This chicken pairs well with coleslaw, rice, or a fresh salad.

Enjoy your Hot Honey Chicken, a delightful balance of sweetness and heat!
