Honey Glazed Chicken Ingredients :
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1⁄8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
- 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-size pieces
How to Make Honey Glazed Chicken Recipe :
Prepare all the ingredients.
In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes; set aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the chicken in the hot oil until lightly browned, approximately 5 minutes.
Add the honey mixture to the skillet. Continue cooking and stirring until the chicken is fully cooked through and the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes more.
Serve hot and savor every bite!
Recipe Notes:
For rich caramelization, brush a thin layer of glaze onto the chicken during the final minutes of cooking.
Allow enough marinade time (2–3 hours) to let flavors penetrate deeply, but avoid over-marinating if acids are included.
Use a quick broil finish at the end to lock in the glaze and create a lightly charred edge.
After cooking, give the chicken a brief resting time so juices settle and the glaze adheres evenly.
