Hello Fresh Spicy Maple Chicken Recipe

Sweet and spicy is the best kind of combo, and this Hello Fresh dish does it for me every time!
The key is balancing the maple syrup with just the right amount of heat so neither one overpowers the other.
A quick marinade with garlic, chili flakes, and a splash of vinegar keeps the chicken from tasting too sweet.
Searing the chicken first locks in the juices before finishing it off in the sauce.
Letting the sauce reduce a bit thickens it up just enough to coat each piece perfectly.
A sprinkle of fresh herbs at the end brings a fresh contrast to the deep, caramelized edges of the chicken!
