In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup hot sauce,1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup honey, 1.5 teaspoons smoked paprika and 2 teaspoons ground cuminand whisk together.
Pour half the mixture over 4 thinly pounded chicken breast cutlets in a shallow dish. Set the rest aside for later.
Cover the chicken dish and allow to marinate in the fridge for as long as you have - overnight is good, but 30 mins will work just fine too.
Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 4 cloves minced garlic, cook for 30 seconds.
Decrease to medium heat, add the chicken and cook until browned on both sides and cooked through, 10-15 minutes.
Heat the remaining marinade in a small saucepan until warmed through.
Serve chicken and drizzle sauce over top
Sprinkle with 2 chopped finely scallions, if using.
Devour!

Cook the chicken at medium heat. If you cook the chicken at too high of a heat, the honey will cause your chicken to burn - you may alternately brown the chicken, and then place in a baking dish and cook until the chicken reaches 165°F
Marinate a day ahead and let the flavors really deepen.
Discard the marinade you used on the chicken, we will make a sauce out of the reserved marinade that HASN'T touched raw chicken.
Ramp up the hot sauce if you like it spicy, dial it back if you prefer flavor over heat.
