Step-by-Step Instructions

Preparing the Spicy Honey Pepper Chicken

  1. Season the Chicken:
    • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside.
  2. Make the Honey Pepper Glaze:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, sriracha sauce, crushed red pepper flakes, minced garlic, and ground black pepper.
  3. Cook the Chicken:
    • Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and sizzling, add the seasoned chicken breasts. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Prepare the Glaze:
    • In the same skillet, pour in the honey pepper mixture. Bring it to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until it starts to thicken slightly.
  5. Thicken the Sauce:
    • In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the skillet, stirring constantly, until the glaze thickens to your desired consistency.
  6. Coat the Chicken:
    • Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, turning to coat them thoroughly in the spicy honey pepper glaze. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring the chicken is well coated and heated through.
