Ingredients

For the Chicken:

• 2 lbs organic chicken breasts
  
  

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  
  

• 2 teaspoons On Everything All-Purpose Blend (or your preferred seasoning blend)
  
  

• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  
  

• 1 teaspoon sea salt
  
  

For the Hot Honey Sauce:

• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  
  

• 4 garlic cloves, minced
  
  

• 1 cup organic raw honey
  
  

• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  
  

• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  
  

• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  
  

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  
  

• ½ teaspoon chili powder
  
  

• Pinch of sea salt
  
  

Directions

1. Prep and Season the Chicken:
   
   

   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
     
     

   • In a large bowl, combine the chicken breasts with olive oil, sea salt, On Everything All-Purpose Blend, and smoked paprika.
     
     

   • Mix until the chicken is evenly coated.
     
     

   • Place the seasoned chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
     
     

   • Using a sharp knife, make shallow cuts on top of each chicken breast, about 1 inch apart, to allow the sauce to penetrate during baking.
     
     

2. Prepare the Hot Honey Sauce:
   
   

   • In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter.
     
     

   • Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
     
     

   • Stir in the honey, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, chili powder, and a pinch of sea salt.
     
     

   • Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce becomes smooth and slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
     
     

   • Remove from heat and set aside.
     
     

3. Bake the Chicken:
   
   

   • Brush the prepared hot honey sauce generously over the top of each chicken breast.
     
     

   • Reserve some sauce for serving.
     
     

   • Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
     
     

   • Halfway through baking, baste the chicken with additional hot honey sauce for extra flavor.
     
     

4. Serve:
   
   

   • Once baked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
     
     

   • Drizzle the reserved hot honey sauce over the chicken before serving.
     
     

   • Serve with your choice of sides and enjoy!
