1-2 teaspoons of your favorite hot sauce
14 -

# How to Make It:
01 -
Once the chicken's out of the oven, pour some warm hot honey sauce all over it. Fancy it up with extra feta, parsley, or another sprinkle of red pepper flakes if you want. Serve right away. Try it with fresh salad, mashed potatoes, or roasted veggies on the side.
02 -
Mix honey, hot sauce, red pepper flakes, and apple cider vinegar in a little pan. Warm it up over low heat, stirring now and then, until it’s all nicely blended and smooth. Take off the heat when it’s ready.
03 -
Put olive oil in a big skillet and warm it at medium. Once it's hot, add your coated chicken and sear each one for about 2-3 minutes on each side until both are golden and crunchy. Move them onto a baking sheet. Slide them into the oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake 15-20 minutes, or until you hit 165°F (74°C) inside.
04 -
Grab three shallow plates for setup. Plate one mixes flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Crack eggs and beat them in the second plate. For the third, join panko with your crumbled feta. Coat chicken in the flour mix, tap off extra, dunk them in egg, then press into the cheesy panko so they’re covered.
05 -
Set your oven to preheat at 375°F (190°C). Make each chicken breast even in thickness by pounding them out or butterflying them. Sprinkle with salt and pepper before moving on.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
For more heat, toss in a bit more hot sauce or try a pinch of cayenne pepper to the honey mix.
02 -
Need it gluten-free? Swap in gluten-free flour and panko crumbs instead.
03 -
Go for the air fryer at 375°F if that's your thing. Let it run for 12-15 minutes and flip your pieces halfway.
