Zubereitung

1. 1

   Whisk together the Buffalo Marinade ingredients in a medium bowl. Measure out 1/4 cup and add it to a shallow dish or freezer bag, along with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the chicken and toss to evenly coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours up to overnight.

2. 2

   To the remaining marinade, make your Buffalo Glaze by whisking in 1 tablespoon of honey and 1 1/2 teaspoons of lime juice. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

4. 4

   Let the chicken sit at room temperature for 15-30 minutes (time permitting).

5. 5

   Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once very hot, add 1-2 tablespoons of oil. Add the chicken and cook, undisturbed, for 3-5 minutes, or until nicely browned (or blackened if you prefer) on one side.

6. 6

   Flip the chicken over, cover, and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes (depending on the thickness of the chicken), until the chicken reaches 160 °F.

7. 7

   Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing to reach 165 °F. Brush the chicken with the desired amount of glaze - for more heat, more glaze; for less heat, less glaze.
