Ingredients
Scale
For the Hot Honey:
- 1/3 cup / 110g Honey
- 1 1/2 tsp Hot Sauce ((I like Frank’s or Cholula))
- 3/4 tsp Chilli Flakes
For the Chicken:
- 2x 250g/9oz Chicken Breasts
- 2 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp EACH: Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Dried Oregano, Black Pepper
- 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
- 35g / 1/4 cup Plain Flour
- 2 Eggs, (beaten)
- 65g / 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
- Veg Oil, (as needed (6-8 tbsp))
- 200g / 7oz Feta, (crumbled)
Instructions
- Making the Hot Honey: Combine the honey, hot sauce, and chili flakes in a bowl. Heat in the microwave for about 20 seconds or until warmed through. Stir well and set aside to cool.
- Preparing the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts horizontally to create 4 thin cutlets. In a small bowl, mix paprika, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, cayenne, and black pepper.
- Breading the Chicken: Set up 3 shallow dishes with flour and seasoning mix, beaten eggs, and Panko breadcrumbs with seasoning. Dredge the chicken in flour, then egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure even coating at each stage.
- Frying the Chicken: Heat oil in a pan and fry the chicken until golden and cooked through. Place on a wire rack.
- Finishing Touches: Top the chicken with crumbled feta and grill until golden and bubbly. Serve with hot honey drizzled on top.
Notes
- You can adjust the spiciness of the hot honey by varying the amount of chili flakes and hot sauce.
- Make sure to coat the chicken evenly at each breading stage for a crispy finish.
- Store any leftover hot honey in the refrigerator for future use.
