Instructions
Making Hot Honey Baked Chicken Breasts is easy if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the hot honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
4. Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
5. Arrange the Chicken: Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and place them in the greased baking dish. Reserve the marinade for later.
6. Bake the Chicken: Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
7. Add the Marinade: After 25 minutes, remove the chicken from the oven and pour the reserved marinade over the top. Return the dish to the oven and continue to bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
8. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
9. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the chicken for a pop of color before serving.
