  • 1 pinch Red pepper flakes - Optional

  • In a small bowl, mix honey, hot sauce, melted butter, red pepper flakes, and minced garlic. Stir until smooth and combined.
  • Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown. Reduce heat if browning too quickly.

  • Brush hot honey glaze generously over the seared chicken. Transfer skillet to preheated oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, until chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature and glaze is caramelized.
  • Remove from oven and brush with any remaining glaze. Immediately top with crumbled feta and fresh herbs. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving with lemon wedges.
