- Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together the hot honey, olive oil, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and lemon juice.
- Step 3: Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Pour the hot honey mixture over the chicken, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Step 4: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Notes
- Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, ensuring it's cooled completely first.
- Reheat gently in the oven or microwave, adding a splash of water or chicken broth to maintain moisture.
- Serve this dish alongside a simple green salad or roasted vegetables for a complete and flavorful meal.
- For an extra layer of flavor, try marinating the chicken in the hot honey mixture for at least 30 minutes before baking.
