Steps:
- Combine the honey, orange juice concentrate, orange zest, garlic, salt, and crushed red pepper flakes in a small bowl and mix well. Set aside. Season the chicken with salt as desired. Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the chicken and cook for 4 minutes. Turn the chicken over and cook for 4-6 more minutes, or until it is cooked through (time will depend on thickness of the chicken breasts). Pour the reserved honey mixture over the chicken and cook for 2 minutes, turning to coat the chicken in the glaze several times. Place the chicken breasts on individual dinner plates and drizzle with the glaze. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- For the chicken: Place a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add your frying oil and heat to 375 degrees F.
- In a large bowl or a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag, mix together the cornstarch, baking powder, salt and your favorite seasonings. Add your chicken pieces to the flour mixture. Coat the chicken well, but be sure to shake off any excess flour. At this point the chicken can be battered immediately, or it can sit, refrigerated, for 2 hours or overnight, coated in the dry dredge.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together all of the dry batter ingredients, then add all of the wet ingredients, stirring to smooth out any lumps.
- Dredge the cornstarch-coated cutlets in the batter, letting any excess drip off and lay them in the oil. Add a few pieces at a time so the temperature of the oil doesn't drop, and fry until golden brown on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined tray.
- For the spicy honey: Whisk together the honey and Sriracha or chiles in a bowl. If using chiles, allow the heat to infuse for at least 30 minutes.
- To serve, drizzle the chicken with your Spicy Honey and serve with any extra Spicy Honey on the side.

BAKED ORANGE-GLAZED CHICKEN
One of my favorite recipes! The combination of paprika and mustard powder really offsets the sweetness of the orange juice. I tend to eyeball when cooking, so if you cook more breasts or use a large pan, make extra sauce to baste with. I'll frequently use extra glaze when baking just so there's plenty to pour over rice once it's done!

ROASTED ORANGE ROSEMARY HONEY GLAZED CHICKEN
This is always a hit when I make it for dinner parties and Boxing Day dinner because the chicken is always fall-off-the-bone juicy and people love the glaze. People always go for seconds! You may quarter 2 chickens instead if you aren't able to get just legs from your butcher, but I find the legs are juicier and save money. Serve this dish with fragrant rice and dilled carrots or roasted asparagus.

ORANGE-HONEY GLAZED CHICKEN BREASTS
This is sort of an American-ized version of the French Duck a l'orange. When reducing the glaze in step 4, remember that the skillet handle will be hot; use an oven mitt. To make sure the chicken cooks evenly, buy breasts that are similar in size-about 12 ounces apiece. If the glaze looks dry during baking, add up to 2 tablespoons of juice to the pan. If your skillet is not ovenproof, brown the chicken breasts and reduce the glaze as instructed, then transfer the chicken and glaze to a 13 by 9-inch baking dish and bake (don't wash the skillet). When the chicken is fully cooked, transfer it to a plate to rest and scrape the glaze back into the skillet to be reduced. This recipe was adapted from Cook's Illustrated, published Sept. 2007

Steps:
- Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk 1 1/2 cups orange juice, corn syrup, honey, mustard, vinegar, pepper flakes, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper together in medium bowl. Place flour in pie plate, then season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Working with one chicken breast at a time, coat chicken with flour, patting off excess.
- Heat oil in ovenproof 12-inch skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add chicken breasts skin-side down; cook until well browned and most of fat has rendered from skin, 8 to 14 minutes. (If after 3 minutes you don't hear definite sizzling, increase heat to medium-high. If after 6 minutes chicken is darker than lightly browned, reduce heat slightly.) Turn chicken and lightly brown other side, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer chicken to plate.
- Pour off all but 1 teaspoon fat from pan. Add shallot and cook until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Increase heat to high and add orange juice mixture. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until syrupy and reduced to 1 cup (heatproof spatula should leave slight trail when dragged through glaze), 6 to 10 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and tilt to one side so glaze pools in corner of pan. Using tongs, roll each chicken breast in pooled glaze to coat evenly and place skin-side down in skillet.
- Transfer skillet to oven and bake chicken until thickest part of breasts registers 160 degrees on instant-read thermometer, 25 to 30 minutes, turning chicken skin-side up halfway through cooking. Transfer chicken to platter and let rest 5 minutes. Return skillet to high heat (be careful-handle will be very hot) and cook glaze, stirring constantly, until thick and syrupy (heatproof spatula should leave wide trail when dragged through glaze), about 1 minute. Remove pan from heat and whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons orange juice. Spoon 1 teaspoon glaze over each breast and serve, passing remaining glaze at table.

Tips:
- Choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts: This will ensure that the chicken cooks evenly and quickly.
- Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips: This will help them cook faster and absorb the glaze more easily.
- Use a large skillet: This will give the chicken plenty of room to cook and prevent it from overcrowding.
- Cook the chicken over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the chicken and prevent it from drying out.
- Stir the chicken frequently: This will help to ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Make the glaze ahead of time: This will save you time when you're ready to cook the chicken.
- Serve the chicken immediately with the glaze: This will ensure that the chicken is hot and juicy.
Conclusion:
Chicken breasts with spicy honey orange glaze is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the glaze is sweet, spicy, and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
