Skin on boneless chicken breasts (6)

Coarse Kosher salt (1/4 cup)

DIRECTIONS | PART 1: SPICE RUB

3. Depending on if you are using a barbecue or an oven:

On the Barbecue:

Grill chicken breasts skin side down for 7 minutes on medium, turn chicken and continue grilling for another 7 minutes depending on the size chicken breast.

In the Oven:

With the oven pre-heated to 400 degrees, lay out chicken breasts in a roasting pan, skin side up, ensuring at least 1 cm between each piece of chicken. Roast chicken in oven uncovered for 18-20 minutes depending on size of chicken breast.

DIRECTIONS | PART 2: HONEY GLAZE

1. Melt butter in a small skillet over low heat

2. Add crushed garlic and chili flakes

3. Lightly sauté garlic and chili flakes for 2 minutes, ensuring to not burn the crushed garlic

4. Add honey and continue to sauté for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

5. Glaze chicken periodically during the grilling/roasting. Leave enough glaze to ensure a final post-heat glazing.
