This Crispy Hot Honey Feta Chicken is a bold, flavor-packed dish that brings together seared, oven-baked chicken, a drizzle of sweet-spicy hot honey, and tangy, creamy feta cheese.

It’s quick, easy, and sure to be a weeknight favorite!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Perfect balance of flavors – Sweet, spicy, salty, and savory in one bite.

Quick and easy – Ready in about 30 minutes.

Minimal ingredients – But maximum impact!

Restaurant-quality at home – No fancy equipment needed.

Versatile – Serve with rice, salad, veggies, or crusty bread.

What You’ll Need (Ingredient Highlights)

Boneless Chicken Breasts – Seared for golden crispiness, then baked to perfection.

Hot Honey – Brings the heat and sweetness; store-bought or homemade.

Feta Cheese – Adds a creamy, salty contrast to the sweet heat.

Olive Oil – Helps the seasoning stick and aids in searing.

Paprika & Garlic Powder – Flavor boosters with a smoky, savory kick.

Fresh Parsley – Adds a pop of color and a fresh finish.

Pro Tips Before You Start

Use an oven-safe skillet to sear and bake in one pan (less cleanup!).

Don’t skip the sear – It locks in juices and adds crisp edges.

Adjust spice level by using mild honey or adding chili flakes.

Chicken thighs? Go for it! Just adjust the bake time slightly.

How to Make Crispy Hot Honey Feta Chicken

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Season the Chicken

In a bowl, mix:

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp paprika

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

Rub the mixture evenly over 4 boneless chicken breasts on both sides.

Step 3: Sear for Crispiness

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the seasoned chicken and sear for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown.

(The chicken doesn’t need to cook through yet—just form a nice crust.)

Step 4: Bake to Finish

Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 5: Add Feta & Honey

Remove from the oven and drizzle each breast with hot honey (about 3 tbsp total).

Sprinkle ½ cup crumbled feta over the top.

Step 6: Final Bake

Return the chicken to the oven for 5 more minutes, allowing the feta to soften and the honey to caramelize slightly.

Step 7: Garnish and Serve

Top with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot with your favorite sides.

What to Serve It With

Garlic mashed potatoes or herbed rice

Roasted vegetables or steamed broccoli

Pita bread and tzatziki for a Mediterranean twist

Fresh salad with lemon vinaigrette

Variations & Substitutions

Swap feta for goat cheese – Creamier, tangier twist.

Use bone-in chicken thighs – Just increase bake time by 5–10 minutes.

Make it dairy-free – Omit the feta and sprinkle with crushed nuts for crunch.

Homemade hot honey – Mix honey with red pepper flakes and warm gently.

Storage & Leftovers

Fridge – Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Reheat – Warm in the oven at 300°F or in a skillet over low heat.

Freezer? – Not ideal with feta and honey, but chicken can be frozen before topping.

FAQs

Can I use store-bought hot honey?
Yes! Brands like Mike’s Hot Honey work great.

Or make your own by warming honey with red pepper flakes.

Is it spicy?
Mild to medium, depending on your hot honey. Adjust to taste!

What if I don’t have feta?
Try crumbled goat cheese, blue cheese, or leave it off for a dairy-free option.

Can I make it ahead?
You can sear the chicken in advance, then finish baking with feta and honey when ready to serve.

Final Thoughts

This Crispy Hot Honey Feta Chicken is everything you want in a fast, flavorful dinner.

It’s sweet, spicy, creamy, and satisfying—and it looks (and tastes) like something straight out of a restaurant kitchen.

Once you try it, you’ll be hooked!
