Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat the chicken thighs dry, then toss with olive oil and seasoning until evenly coated. Arrange the chicken skin-side up and bake until golden, crispy, and fully cooked.
  • While the chicken bakes, gently warm the honey, hot sauce, and vinegar together until smooth. Let the chicken rest briefly after baking, then drizzle with hot honey and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Add the sauce after baking to prevent burning
  • Store leftovers up to 3 days refrigerated
  • Adjust heat by changing the hot sauce amount
