Full Recipe: 

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

• ½ cup all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• ½ teaspoon onion powder

• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• 2 tablespoons canola oil

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

• ⅓ cup honey

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

 Directions:

1. Prepare the Chicken: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the flour mixture.

2. Cook the Chicken: Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the coated chicken pieces in a single layer. Cook the chicken for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

3. Make the Honey Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the honey, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar to the skillet. Stir the mixture constantly until it reaches a caramel-like thickness, about 3–4 minutes.

4. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss it in the honey butter glaze until the chicken is evenly coated. Allow the chicken to cook in the sauce for an additional 2–3 minutes to absorb the flavors.

5. Serve: Transfer the honey butter chicken to a serving platter and serve immediately. This dish pairs well with steamed rice and sautéed vegetables.
