Prepare the chicken by trimming any excess fat and patting it dry.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge the chicken thighs in the flour mixture, coating them thoroughly.
In a large skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat.
Carefully add the coated chicken thighs to the hot oil, frying for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
In a separate saucepan, combine honey, hot sauce, and apple cider vinegar over low heat, stirring until mixed.
Once the sauce is well-mixed, pour it over the fried chicken, coating each piece generously.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
