Ingredients:
- 4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup Frank’s Red Hot Sauce
- 3 tablespoon butter (melted)
- 3 tablespoon honey (plus more to taste)
- 1/2 lime (juiced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Feta cheese (for serving (optional))
Instruction:
- Preheat oven to 400°F and spray a large 11 x 8-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Add the chicken breasts to your baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, to season.
- Prepare your homemade buffalo sauce. In a small mixing bowl whisk together the Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, melted butter, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, and onion powder. Season with additional salt, pepper, or honey, to taste.
- Pour your prepared buffalo sauce over the top of the chicken breasts. Thoroughly coat each chicken breast in sauce (I like to use kitchen tongs to rotate each chicken breast 1-2 times).
- Tent your baking dish with foil and transfer it to the oven. Bake, covered, for 20 minutes. Then uncover and continue to bake for an additional 5-15 minutes, or until internal temperature registers 160°F as measured with a digital meat thermometer.
- Remove from the oven and allow your chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
