Instructions
Creating Spicy Sweet Chicken Diablo is simple and straightforward. Follow these steps to achieve a mouthwatering dish:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a nice sear.
2. Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Rub this spice mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
5. Make the Sauce: While the chicken is cooking, whisk together honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and sriracha sauce in a separate bowl.
6. Add Sauce to Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, pour the sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
7. Glaze the Chicken: Spoon the sauce over the chicken regularly while it simmers to coat it well.
8. Garnish: Once the sauce has thickened, remove the skillet from heat. If desired, sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for an extra touch.
9. Serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into pieces to serve.
