Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Hot Honey Feta Chicken
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper until well blended.
  2. Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the prepared marinade over the chicken, seal the bag tightly, and ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 4 hours.
  3. Mix the crumbled feta cheese with a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
  4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease your baking dish.
  5. Remove the chicken from the bag, discard the marinade, and place the chicken in the greased baking dish. Top generously with the feta mixture and bake for 25-30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  6. Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley and serving with lemon wedges.
