Sweet with Heat Cholula Chicken

Inspired by a THMed restaurant favorite, this Sweet with Heat Cholula Chicken recipe boasts just enough heat to burn a bit and a just enough sweet to make it lip smacking good.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken of choice (breast, tenderloins, or thighs)
  • ½ cup Cholula Original Hot Sauce
  • 2 teaspoons honey (optional; or use ½ teaspoon more Super Sweet)
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons THM Super Sweet (or equivalent sweetener)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon mineral salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut the chicken into 1-inch chunks (see note below). Place inside a zippy bag or other airtight container.
  2. In a bowl, mix together all the remaining ingredients except the butter. Pour into the zippy bag or container with the chicken.
  3. Seal and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  4. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat
  5. Pour all the chicken and marinade into skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until begin to blacken a bit on the outside and cooked through (165 °F internal temperature).
  6. Serve as desired (see post for ideas).

Notes

  • If you'd rather, you can cut the chicken into strips or leave it whole. Leaving it whole makes it easier to cook on a grill if you'd rather do that (you can always cut it up later). I prefer cutting it into the 1-inch chunks because that makes more surface area for the Cholula marinade to cover.
