Description
Pay attention to whether your chicken is bone in or not as it will affect the cooking time! Cooking time will also vary depending on the size of your chicken breasts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs skinless, bone-in or boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 4 pieces)
- Salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup Sriracha
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp. melted butter
- 2 tsp. soy sauce
- 1/4 tsp. red chili flakes
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp. dried basil
Instructions
- Prepare: Preheat oven to 425F. Line a baking pan with aluminum foil/parchment paper for easy clean up. Place chicken into pan and season with salt and pepper.
- First Coat: Combine all the sauce ingredients. Pour about half the mixture onto the chicken breasts. Place into oven and bake for 15 minutes.
- Second Coat: Remove from oven, pour remaining sauce on top, and place back into oven. Lower temperature to 375F and bake for another 10 minutes or until chicken reaches 160F internally (you may need another 5-10 minutes on top of that for bone-in breasts!).
- Finish: Serve over rice!
Notes
Bone-in chicken breasts tend to keep the meat moist and juicy. Sriracha can be substituted with your favorite hot sauce; adjust honey and spices to balance the flavor.
