How To Make Hot Honey (Marry-Me Chicken): Step-by-Step Instructions

Okay, let’s get cooking! Follow these super-simple steps for the *best* Hot Honey (Marry-Me Chicken) *ever*. Don’t worry, I’ll walk you through it!

First things first, grab those chicken breasts and give ’em a good seasoning! Sprinkle them with salt and pepper – don’t be shy!
Now, heat up the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. You’ll want the pan nice and hot so you get that beautiful browning. Careful, it splatters! Add the chicken and cook until it’s browned on both sides and cooked *all* the way through. This’ll take about 5-7 minutes per side, depending on how thick your chicken breasts are.
Once the chicken’s cooked, take it outta the skillet and set it aside. We’ll get back to it soon.
Next up, add the minced garlic to the same skillet, letting it sizzle for about a minute until it’s fragrant. Mmm, smells amazing already, right? Don’t let it burn!
Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a simmer, and make sure you scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Those little bits are *packed* with flavor, trust me.
Now for the magic! Stir in the hot honey, butter, and Parmesan cheese. Cook until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 2-3 minutes. It should be creamy and dreamy!
Return the chicken to the skillet and give it a good coating in that luscious sauce. Make sure every piece is covered!
Last but not least, garnish with fresh basil. Doesn’t it look amazing? Serve it up and get ready to be wowed!

See? I told you it was easy! And *so* delicious.

Tips for the Perfect Hot Honey (Marry-Me Chicken)

Want to take your Hot Honey (Marry-Me Chicken) to the *next level*? Here are my secrets:

**Get that Sear On!** Make sure your pan is HOT before adding the chicken. A good sear locks in the juices and gives you that beautiful golden-brown crust.
**Sauce Too Thin?** If your sauce isn’t thickening up enough, just let it simmer for a few more minutes. You can also add a *tiny* bit of cornstarch slurry (1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water).
**Spice It Up (or Down)!** Not a fan of too much heat? Start with less hot honey and add more to taste. Love it fiery? Go wild!

Follow these tips, and you’re guaranteed a winner, winner chicken dinner!
