Place chicken in a large bowl, with arrowroot flour, kosher salt and black pepper. Toss until chicken is evenly coated with arrowroot flour.
Place chicken on baking rack and roast chicken for 50-55 minutes or until juices run clear and chicken is lightly golden brown and crispy.
Meanwhile, add honey, sriracha and ghee in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until ghee is melted and sauce is well combined. Remove from heat and set aside.

Put chicken back on the baking rack and broil for 3-4 minutes to crisp up the skin.

Recipe Notes

*you can use regular sriracha but if you want to stay sugar free, I like to make the sriracha recipe from the Whole30 Fast & Easy cookbook. Nom nom paleo also has a great sriracha recipe!

**if you're doing a Whole30, you can use date paste or apple juice.
