Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.25 cup sugar-free honey substitute
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken thighs.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the seasoned chicken thighs to the skillet, searing for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from heat.
Transfer the skillet with the chicken to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink inside.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the hot honey sauce.
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar-free honey substitute, hot sauce, apple cider vinegar, and butter over medium heat.
Stir continuously until the butter has melted and the sauce is smooth and emulsified, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the chicken is done baking, carefully remove the skillet from the oven and drizzle the hot honey sauce over the chicken.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.
