Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1/4 cup hot honey (honey infused with red pepper flakes)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked rice or grain of choice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Season chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
