Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 4 chicken breasts
Honey Garlic Glaze
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, as needed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
Garnish
  • Optional fresh herbs for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat the oven to 400°F (204°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Combine honey, hot sauce, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl to create the glaze.
  3. Dry the chicken breasts, coat them with olive oil, and apply a generous layer of the honey garlic glaze.
  4. Place the glazed chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
Baking
  1. Bake the chicken for 20–25 minutes, adding more glaze over the chicken halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  2. Allow the baked chicken breasts to rest for several minutes before serving with additional glaze and optional fresh herbs.

Notes

Pat the chicken dry before applying the glaze to help the sauce adhere and caramelize more effectively during baking.
