Over here, we believe chicken is a canvas, and we like to paint it with allllll the flavors. Tonight’s palette: A saucy coating that includes honey, Frank’s hot sauce, and butter—because why choose one of these ingredients when you could choose all three? Add to that a side of cheesy garlic potato wedges and roasted carrots, and you have yourself a dinner to Remem-brandt (see what we did there?).

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Prep
1

• Adjust racks to middle and top positions and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into ½-inch-thick pieces. Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Toss on a separate baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Roast Carrots & Potatoes
2

• Roast carrots on middle rack and potatoes on top rack until tender, 20-25 minutes. • When potatoes have 2-3 minutes left, using a spatula, carefully push potatoes together so they’re slightly overlapping. Sprinkle with pepper jack. Return to oven until cheese melts.

Season Chicken
3

• Meanwhile, pat chicken* dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt, then rub with Frank’s Seasoning.

Cook Chicken
4

• Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium, preferably nonstick, pan (use a large, preferably nonstick, pan for 4 servings) over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. TIP: Cooking over medium heat will help prevent the spice blend from burning. • Turn off heat; transfer chicken to a plate. Wipe out pan.

Make Sauce
5

• Heat same pan over medium-low heat. Add honey, stock concentrate, and 1 TBSP water (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Cook, stirring, until combined and just simmering, 1-2 minutes. • Stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) and Frank’s hot sauce to taste. • Return chicken to pan and turn to coat.

Serve
6

• Divide chicken, carrots, and potato wedges between plates. Drizzle any remaining sauce from pan over chicken. Serve with ranch dressing on the side for dipping.

Review summary

Updated on Dec 2025
  • Flavor: Sweet and spicy combo was a hit; many loved the sauce's balance of honey and Frank's hot sauce 🌶️.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and simple to make, though some found pan-frying messy or tricky to avoid burning the seasoning.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding more sauce or adjusting spice levels to taste. Try flattening chicken for even cooking.
  • Portions: Several wanted more carrots; some found chicken pieces small or unevenly sized.
  • Sides: Cheesy garlic potato wedges were a favorite; some suggested varying vegetables beyond carrots.

Took a chance on this one, as I usually avoid spicy options, but was pleasantly surprised that it was awesome! I only used one of the Red Hots in the sauce, so I think that's why. Absolutely delicious. And the garlic/cheesy potato wedges were amazing. Good one, Hello Fresh!!

I will never cook carrots without roasted red pepper flakes. The sweet & spicy combination of the carrots and the delicious sauce that went on the chicken were fabulous!

Kids LOVED the chicken. Overall the meal was enjoyed by the whole family and easy to make. Only issue was that the ratio of carrots to potatoes seemed off. Two tiny carrots and a LOT of potatoes left us with a very small serving of carrots and lots of leftover wedges. Recommend adjusting that to at least one whole carrot per person.

Perfect. The chicken was tender and juicy. Seasoning was spot-on. The sauce was a delicious mix of spicy-sweet and added great flavor to the potatoes.

Carrots needed more cook time. Should mention that you need to flatten chicken to get it fully cooked in time you say. So good and tasty! I poured that sauce on my potatoes too it was so good!

Yummy! We loved the cheesy garlic potato fries. We only added one of the two packets of Frank's hot sauce and it was just right. The buttermilk ranch on the side was a nice addition.
