1 cup all-purpose flour
03 -
2 large eggs
04 -
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
05 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 -
1 teaspoon onion powder

→ Serving and Garnishes
12 -
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
13 -
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika; another with whisked eggs; and the third with panko breadcrumbs.
02 -
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Dip it into the eggs, then coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing firmly so they adhere. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a rack.
03 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
04 -
In a small saucepan, combine honey, hot sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Heat over medium heat until warm and combined. Adjust spiciness by adding more hot sauce as needed.
05 -
Drizzle the warm hot honey sauce over the baked chicken and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese, allowing it to slightly melt.
06 -
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately. Pair with roasted vegetables, rice, or a salad.
# Notes:
01 -
Adjust the hot sauce quantity to customize the spice level.
02 -
For extra crispiness, preheat your baking sheet before adding the chicken.
