1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and pat chicken dry. Season both sides with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.

2. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for about 3 minutes per side until golden.

3. In a saucepan over low heat, combine honey, red pepper flakes, apple cider vinegar, and butter. Stir until melted and smooth, then simmer briefly.

4. In a bowl, mix feta, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, oregano, and olive oil until creamy. Add a little water or milk if needed.

5. Pour half the hot honey sauce over the chicken and transfer skillet to the oven. Bake for 15–18 minutes until cooked through.

6. Remove chicken and spoon feta sauce over each piece while hot.

7. Drizzle remaining hot honey sauce over the top.

8. Garnish with parsley, extra chili flakes if desired, and serve with lemon wedges.

Adjust spice level by increasing or reducing red pepper flakes.

Chicken thighs can be used for a juicier result.

Serve with rice, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.

Let chicken rest for a few minutes before serving for best texture.
