Hot Honey Chicken Food

HOT HONEY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• In a small bowl, combine the honey, hot pepper sauce and ground black pepper and mix well. Cover each chicken breast with the sauce and put on the grill, basting occasionally.
• Grill for 10 to 15 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 180 degrees F (80 degrees C). Chicken will have a nice, brown color from the sauce.

HOT HONEY

Steps:

• Combine honey, vinegar, red pepper flakes, thyme, smoked paprika, and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature so flavors infuse, about 30 minutes. Store at room temperature in an airtight container.

HOT HONEY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 425˚F. Wash and dry all produce. Dice potatoes into ½ inch pieces. Toss on baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, half the BBQ seasoning (you will use the rest in the next step), pepper and a big pinch of salt. Set aside.
• Place 2 Tablespoons butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl, microwave until melted - about 30 seconds. Stir in a large drizzle of olive oil, remaining BBQ seasoning, pepper and a big pinch of salt. Add Panko and stir until evenly combined.
• Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. Lightly oil a second baking sheet and spread chicken out on it. Evenly spread sour cream onto tops of chicken, mound with Panko mixture, pressing to adhere (no need to coat the undersides)
• Roast potatoes on top rack until crispy (20-25 minutes). Once potatoes have roasted 5 minutes, add chicken to middle rack and roast until browned and cooked through (15 - 18 min)
• Meanwhile cut any large broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large microwave-safe bowl with 1 teaspoon water. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and poke a few holes in wrap. Microwave until broccoli is tender (1-2 minutes). Carefully remove plastic wrap, watching for steam. Drain any water left in bowl, then toss broccoli with 1 Tablespoon butter until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide chicken, potatoes and broccoli between plates. Drizzle chicken with as much hot honey as you like.

HOT HONEY

Steps:

• To a small saucepan add the honey. Thinly slice 2 Fresno chili peppers. Do not discard the seeds or membranes, add them too.
• Over medium heat bring to a slow boil. Once bubbling, reduce to low and simmer for about 30 minutes. It will thicken and the honey will take on the pepper essence and some red hues.
• Serve immediately with your favorite foods or store for later. I store mine in a glass jar with a tight sealing lid. Refrigerate for usage later.
• To Reheat or Thin - You will want to heat the hot honey in a saucepan or microwave to warm up the next time you use it as it will thicken when chilled. ** as an alternate you can even add a splash of apple cider vinegar to the recipe for an additional pop of acid to the overall flavor and help thin it out.

FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH WITH HOT HONEY

Steps:

• Fried Chicken:.
• In a shallow baking dish whisk together flour, paprika, salt and pepper.
• Working in batches place the chicken in the flour mixture, turning to coat thoroughly. Pour the buttermilk in another shallow baking dish. Coat the chicken in the buttermilk then place back into the flour to coat one more time. Place the chicken on a wire baking rack over a sheet tray until ready to fry.
• In a cast iron pan add enough oil to fill about 2 inches up the sides of the pan. Heat the oil to 350 degrees over medium high heat. Fry the chicken in batches turning once until golden brown and cooked through. The breast should be done in about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel lined plate and season with salt.
• Build the sandwiches by placing the fried chicken on a bun and topping with the slaw, hot honey and pickles.
• Slaw: Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Hot Honey:.
• In a small saucepan combine ingredients. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer for 2-3 minutes then remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.

CRISPY BAKED HOT HONEY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place chicken in large gallon zip lock bag. Add buttermilk, salt, pepper, ¼ tsp of cayenne pepper and massage to evenly cover the chicken. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or aluminum foil), then place a cooling rack on top. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a shallow bowl or dish, combine the flour, cornstarch, garlic, onion, paprika & remaining ¼ tsp of cayenne pepper. In another shallow bowl whisk together the eggs. In a third shallow bowl, add the crushed corn flakes.
• Remove each piece of chicken from the buttermilk mixture, shaking off the excess, and dredge in flour mixture. Shake off excess flour and dip in egg mixture. Shake off excess egg and lastly coat in the cornflakes, pressing to ensure the coating sticks.
• Place on prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining chicken pieces.
• Lightly brush the tops of each piece of chicken with olive oil and bake for 15-20 minutes. Flip each piece of chicken over and bake another 10-15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and outside is golden and crispy. Sprinkle each piece of chicken with salt immediately after taking it out of the oven.
• Add hot honey and butter to small saucepan over medium low heat. Stir occasionally until butter is fully melted. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Brush or drizzle with the hot honey and serve warm.

SKILLET HOT HONEY CHICKEN WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Mix 1 tablespoon of the hot sauce and 1 tablespoon of the honey together in a small bowl and set aside.
• Whisk the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil, remaining 2 tablespoons hot sauce, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper together in a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss until combined.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the panko, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the panko is golden brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a small bowl and stir in the chives; set aside.
• Return the skillet to the stovetop and add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.
• Add the chicken and any juices left in the bowl and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink, 6 to 7 minutes. Fold in the remaining 1 tablespoon of honey until just combined. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
• Add the Brussels sprouts and 3/4 teaspoon salt to the skillet and toss to combine with any residual juices and oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the Brussels sprouts are bright green and starting to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the vinegar and cook, stirring, until the sprouts are tender and caramelized, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Divide the Brussels sprouts among four bowls and top each with some chicken. Drizzle the reserved hot sauce-honey mixture over the chicken, then sprinkle each serving with some of the panko mixture.

HOT HONEY CHICKEN WITH FRIED BREAD AND BITTER GREENS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Mix garlic and 1 Tbsp. lemon juice in a medium bowl to combine. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and place in bowl. Season with salt and toss to coat. Let chicken marinate at room temperature at least 20 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, bring honey and chile to a bare simmer in a small skillet over medium-low. Let hot honey cool.
• Drizzle oil into a large heavy skillet, preferably cast iron, and place chicken thighs, skin side down, inside. Set over medium-high heat and cook until skin is golden brown underneath, 8-10 minutes. Transfer skillet to oven and bake chicken until cooked all the way through, 16-20 minutes. Pull chicken out of the oven and move to a plate. Save those pan juices in the skillet, though.
• Place skillet with juices over medium heat and add bread. Fry bread until nicely toasted and golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. (You're essentially making a large chicken fat-doused crouton here.) Transfer bread to paper towels to drain and sprinkle with a bit of salt.
• Toss endive in a medium bowl with remaining 1 Tbsp. lemon juice and a drizzle of fat from skillet (if the pan is scorched or the drippings are all gone, use olive oil instead), season with salt, and toss to coat.
• Tear the bread in half and poke it with a paring knife to create a few holes (this will help the bread soak up the chicken juices). Arrange on plates and top with chicken thighs. Scatter endive leaves around and drizzle some of the hot honey over the chicken (and the endive if you want).
• Do Ahead
• Chicken can be marinated 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
