Recipe Tips
For an extra flavor boost, try adding some fresh herbs to the marinade. Parsley, rosemary, and thyme are all great options. You can also experiment with different types of honey, such as acacia or orange blossom. For a spicier version of this recipe, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
If you don't have an Instant Pot, you can also cook the chicken in a skillet or in the oven. To cook in a skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until it is cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. To cook in the oven, preheat the oven to 375°F and place the chicken on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
To make this recipe gluten-free, use a gluten-free soy sauce or tamari. You can also use coconut aminos as a substitute for the soy sauce.
This honey chicken is great served with rice, noodles, or your favorite vegetables. You can also use it in stir-fries, salads, or wraps. Enjoy!
