Ingredients

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken of choice (breast, tenderloins, or thighs)
½ cup Cholula Original Hot Sauce
2 teaspoons honey (optional; or use ½ teaspoon more Super Sweet)
2 teaspoons lime juice
2 teaspoons THM Super Sweet (or equivalent sweetener)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon mineral salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

Cut the chicken into 1-inch chunks (see note below). Place inside a zippy bag or other airtight container.
In a bowl, mix together all the remaining ingredients except the butter. Pour into the zippy bag or container with the chicken.
Seal and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat
Pour all the chicken and marinade into skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until begin to blacken a bit on the outside and cooked through (165 °F internal temperature).
Serve as desired (see post for ideas).

Notes

If you'd rather, you can cut the chicken into strips or leave it whole. Leaving it whole makes it easier to cook on a if you'd rather do that (you can always cut it up later). I prefer cutting it into the 1-inch chunks because that makes more surface area for the Cholula to cover.
