Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs for extra juiciness)
• 3 tablespoons Fruity Hot Sauce by Roaring Sauces (adjust to taste)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or lime juice)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
• 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for extra glaze richness)
• Chopped fresh green onions (for garnish)
• Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Glaze:
   In a small bowl, whisk together Fruity Hot Sauce, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

2. Cook 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 golden brown.
   • Lower heat to medium, cover, and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes (or until internal temp reaches 165°F).

3. Glaze the Chicken:

   • Reduce heat to low.
   • Pour the Fruity Hot Sauce glaze over the chicken, spooning it over the top.
   • Simmer for 2-3 minutes, letting the sauce thicken and coat the chicken evenly.
   • Add butter (if using) and stir to create a richer glaze.

4. Serve & Garnish:

   • Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes.
   • Garnish with chopped cilantro, green onions, and sesame seeds.
   • Serve with rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
