Squash each piece of chicken to a uniform thickness using a pound or a skillet.
Season the pieces with pepper and salt to taste on both sides.
Combine honey, pepper sauce, and lemon juice, if using, in a small bowl.
Taste and make any necessary adjustments to the ingredients.
Tips
Don't add too much honey or too much hot sauce. The balance of these flavors are necessary. Even though there are specific amounts instructed for you to use them, you can still adjust the amount to your liking. But nake sure the flavor balance is there or it won't feel good, either too hot or too sweet.
If you want the sauce to be on the side, do not toss the cut up chicken in the sauce. Instead, you can cut them up as slices, drizzle the sauce on top as you like. You can also just leave it in a serving bowl on the side for you to dip the chicken in the sauce.
