Ingredients
- 2 lbs. boneless - skinless chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1½ tablespoons fat - olive or avocado oil
- ½ cup chicken broth - unsalted or reduced sodium, if possible
- 2 tablespoons raw or unfiltered honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce - I used Frank's Red Hot
- 1 tablespoon ghee or butter
Instructions
- To a small ramekin, mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil once hot.
- While the skillet is preheating, season both sides of chicken thighs with spice rub.
- Once hot, add chicken thighs to skillet; cook on each side until crisp and cooked through at 165F, about 5-7 minutes/side. Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board or large plate to rest.
- Add the unsalted chicken broth to the skillet and stir to dissolve the browned bits from the bottom of pan.Let the broth simmer in skillet and cook down until reduced about half.
- Add the honey, Dijon, hot sauce and butter to the skillet. Whisk to melt and dissolve everything together. Add the chicken back to the skillet, and allow the sauce to come back up to a simmer. Spoon the honey mustard sauce over top, then serve.
