Equipment

  • medium bowl
  • non-stick skillet
  • grill

Ingredients
  

Chicken

  • 1 pound chicken breasts, pounded thin
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided

Buffalo Marinade

  • ¼ cup Frank's hot WINGS Sauce for more heat
  • ¼ cup Frank's ORIGINAL Hot Sauce for less heat
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Buffalo Glaze

  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 ½ teaspoons lime juice
  • reserved marinade from Buffalo Marinade

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Whisk together all of the Buffalo Marinade ingredients in a medium bowl. Measure out ¼ cup and add to a shallow dish or freezer bag, along with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add chicken and toss evenly to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator 2 hours up to overnight.
  • To the remaining marinade, make your Buffalo Glaze by whisking in 1 tablespoon honey and 1 ½ teaspoons lime juice. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Cooking

  • Let chicken sit at room temperature for 15-30 minutes (time permitting). Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Once very hot, add chicken and cook, undisturbed for 3-5 minutes, or until nicely browned on one side. Turn chicken over, cover, and reduce heat to medium. Cook for approximately 5-7 more minutes until chicken is cooked through. Remove to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Brush chicken with desired amount of glaze.
  • Alternatively, let chicken sit at room temperature for 15-30 minutes (time permitting). Grease and preheat the grill to medium heat, 375-450°F. Grill chicken undisturbed for 5-7 minutes per side, or until chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken from grill and let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Brush chicken with desired amount of glaze.

Notes

Chicken is incredible on sandwiches, in wraps, salads, tacos, etc. Total time does not include marinating chicken as this time will vary per individual.
