Expert Tips for Perfect Hot Honey Feta Chicken
Chicken Selection: Choose bone-in thighs for best flavor - boneless will dry out and lose rich taste.
Honey Patience: Don't let honey burn during glazing - medium heat prevents bitter caramelization from forming.
Feta Quality: Use good quality feta cheese that crumbles well without being too salty or dry.
Temperature Control: Internal temperature should reach 165°F for food safety and optimal juiciness throughout.
Assembly Order: Add feta at end to prevent over-melting and maintain creamy texture contrast.
Serving Tip: Dish tastes best when served immediately while chicken is hot and feta is warm.
