Tips & Tricks (5)

Marinade Magic 🍯
For maximum flavor penetration, marinate the chicken in the honey-garlic mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking, preferably up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Herb Intensity Hack 🌿
Crush dried herbs between your palms before adding to release their essential oils and maximize flavor concentration in the spicy honey garlic sauce.
Butterfly for Even Cooking 🔪
Butterfly the chicken breasts to create an even thickness, ensuring uniform cooking and preventing dry edges while maintaining a juicy center.
Caramelization Technique 🔥
Use a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan to achieve the perfect caramelization on the honey garlic sauce, creating a beautiful golden-brown exterior.
Spice Level Control 🌶️
Adjust the red pepper flakes gradually, starting with half the amount and tasting as you go to customize the heat level to your preference.
