Creating Hot Honey Feta Chicken is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix the hot honey, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.

2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.

3. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) so it’s hot and ready for cooking the chicken.

4. Prepare for Baking: Once marinated, remove the chicken from the refrigerator. Place the marinated chicken breasts on a baking dish lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.

5. Add Feta: Crumble the feta cheese over the top of the chicken breasts, distributing it evenly.

6. Bake the Chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C).

7. Finish Under the Broiler: For an extra touch, switch to broil for the last 2-3 minutes to get the feta slightly golden.

8. Remove and Rest: Take the chicken out of the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

9. Serve and Garnish: Slice the chicken, drizzle with a little more hot honey if desired, and garnish with chopped parsley.

These simple steps will guide you toward creating this incredible dish effortlessly.
