Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Chicken

In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss to coat the chicken evenly.

2

Make the Hot Honey Sauce

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey, red pepper flakes, and lemon juice. Stir until heated through and well combined. Remove from heat.

3

Cook the Chicken

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken thighs and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

4

Glaze the Chicken

In the last few minutes of cooking, brush the hot honey sauce over the chicken thighs, allowing it to caramelize slightly.

5

Serve

Remove the chicken from the grill or skillet, let it rest for a few minutes, then garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm with extra hot honey sauce on the side.
