Directions

1. Prepare chicken according to package directions.
2. Hot Honey Chicken Sauce: In small saucepan set over medium heat, heat butter, honey, brown sugar, sriracha, garlic, chili powder and cayenne; bring to simmer. Cook for about 1 minute or until brown sugar melts; keep warm.
3. Meanwhile, in saucepan of boiling salted water, cook potatoes for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender; drain well. Add butter, milk, salt and pepper; mash until smooth.
