Cuz I know I am!! It all started on my 30th birthday. I was in LA with one of my besties, I was promised hot honey chicken. And here is what the heck happened…. So, I’m a morning person. By 6:00 am, I’m usually eyes wide open, ready to start the day. Unfortunately, after a night of birthday celebrations the rest of my party just wasn’t feeling the same way. One thing led to another and I joined another bestie for brunch. While brunching, those sneaky MF’s got HOT HONEY CHICKEN. WITHOUT ME. So needless to say, I’ve been heartbroken ever since. Well, until I came up with this hot honey chicken recipe.

The Best Part?!

This hot honey chicken recipe ain’t so bad for you!

Traditional hot honey chicken recipes are deep fried with breading. And you know what friends, that is not happening here. In fact, technically this recipe is Paleo! That’s right this hot honey chicken recipe is gluten-free, dairy-free, and has no refined sugars. Boom shakalaka, roast some veggies and sweet pos- you’re lookin’ real good!

And they are suuuuper easy to make. Popped on foil-lined sheet pan and baked them on the oven! Order my favorite sheet pan below!

I used chicken thighs in this recipe. Don’t get me wrong, I love chicken breast, but chicken thighs just have so much dang flavor. And it’s really hard to over cook them. Like thinking about it, I can’t remember one bad chicken thigh…. And with that, I think it’s time to get to the recipe. LOL. Enjoy beautiful people!
