Method

Step 1: Prep the chicken & start searing

Thin out or butterfly the chicken breasts with a knife until they are an even thickness. Generously cover them with an even sprinkle of salt.

  • If you have the time, these ahead of time for up to 24 hours.

Set a griddle or pan over high heat. Once the pan is ripping hot, add a drizzle of oil and place the chicken breast down to .

  • While those develop some color, mix the sauce.

Step 2: Emulsify the sauce

Add the hot sauce, mayo, and hot honey to a jar or container that seals. Close it and shake vigorously until well combined and . Taste and adjust if needed.

Step 3: Finish the chicken

Check back on the chicken breasts. Once one side has developed a nice sear and some color, flip the breast over.

  • Continue until their temperature reaches 155°F/68°C. Thinned-out chicken breasts should take around 5-7 minutes to reach this temp.
