Cut the chicken in half.

Make small cuts on both sides of the chicken to help the spices absorb.

Rub 3 teaspoons of black pepper and 2 tablespoons of salt all over the chicken, ensuring it's evenly coated on both sides.

Heat a pan and add 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and 2 tablespoons of butter.

Carefully place the chicken in the hot pan and fry until both sides are golden and crispy.

Add 4 tablespoons of honey, 3 cloves of chopped garlic, 4 tablespoons of soy sauce, 3 tablespoons of chili powder, and 2 tablespoons of mustard to the pan.

Mix everything well to coat the chicken in the flavorful sauce.

Transfer the fried chicken into a baking tray and spread the sauce generously over one side, then flip it and do the same for the other side.

Bake the chicken in an oven preheated to 390°F for 40 minutes.
