Sweet & Spicy Fruity Hot Sauce Glazed Chicken

🛒 Ingredients

• 4 chicken breasts or thighs
• 3 tbsp Roaring Sauces Fruity Hot Sauce
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (or lime juice)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp butter (optional — for extra glaze richness)
• Chopped green onions for garnish
• Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Make the Glaze

   In a small bowl, whisk together the Fruity Hot Sauce, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Taste it. Try not to drink it. Set aside.

2. 2

   Sear the Chicken

   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 4–5 minutes per side until deep golden brown. Don't rush the sear — that crust is where the flavor lives.

3. 3

   Glaze & Finish

   Lower heat to medium. Pour the glaze over the chicken and turn to coat all sides. Add butter if using. Cover and cook for another 5–7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through (165°F internal temp) and the glaze is sticky and caramelized.

4. 4

   Serve & Devour

   Plate the chicken and spoon any leftover glaze from the pan right over the top. Finish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve alongside rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad. Accept the compliments graciously.
