      <\/span>Instructions<\/span><\/h3>

      • Stir in the uncooked rice and coat it in the spiced butter for 1-2 minutes.<\/div><\/li>
      • Pour in the chicken broth and salt. Bring the mixture to a rapid boil.<\/div><\/li>
      • Cover with a tight-fitting lid, reduce the heat to a low simmer, and let it cook for 15-18 minutes.<\/div><\/li>
      • Remove from the heat and let it rest (covered) for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>

        <\/span>Make the Hot Honey:<\/span><\/h4>
