Instructions
Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Transfer the chicken to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- In a small bowl, mix the honey and red pepper flakes to make the hot honey sauce.
- Once the chicken is cooked, drizzle the hot honey sauce over the chicken.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes, just until the cheese starts to melt.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- Adjust the spice level: If you like your food spicier, increase the red pepper flakes or add more hot sauce to the hot honey mixture.
- For extra crispy chicken: Use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for added crispiness and juiciness.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to keep the chicken crispy.
