Spicy Honey Mustard Chicken is a flavorful and tangy dish that brings together the perfect balance of heat and sweetness. Tender chicken breasts are coated in a zesty honey mustard sauce made from Dijon mustard, honey, and a kick of sriracha or hot sauce, creating a delicious glaze with just the right amount of spice. The chicken is baked or grilled until perfectly cooked, with the sauce caramelizing slightly, giving it a golden, sticky finish. This dish pairs wonderfully with a variety of sides, from roasted vegetables to rice, offering a satisfying and easy-to-make meal with bold flavors that everyone will love.
