Recipe: Spicy Honey Chicken

May 14, 2010

This went over super well with my 8 year old. And me

3 thick chicken breasts. about 1.5 pounds

Olive oil

1 Tsp. salt

1/2 Tsp. pepper

1/8 Tsp. cayenne (optional)

1 Tsp. basil

1 Tsp. oregeno

or 1 Tbs. chili powder in place of basil/oregeno

1/2 cup honey

1 Tbs apple cider vinegar (ACV)

Cut chicken breasts in half vertically.

Heat oven to 350.

Heat a large cast iron or heavy skillet over medium to medium/high heat.

Drizzle oil on both sides of chicken.

Mix seasonings in a small bowl. Taste and adjust salt/pepper/cayenne to your

liking. Sprinkle evenly over both sides of chicken.

Cook chicken 3 minutes per side.

Meanwhile, mix honey and ACV in a small saucepan over low heat until combined.

Taste it. You might want to add some extra ACV to cut the sweetness. Next time I

will.

Brush honey on chicken and place in the oven.

Cook 10 minutes.

Turn chicken, brush on honey again and cook 5 more minutes.

The chicken should be done at this point.

Remove to a warm plate to stop the cooking process.

Serve with remaining honey mixture.

The chicken came out perfectly cooked and juicy.

Winner winner chicken dinner... =D

I made brussel sprouts to go along with it and they were good dipped in the

honey sauce.

I think this combo would be good on pork chops too.
