Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1–2 tbsp hot sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Optional toppings: chopped fresh parsley, red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
- Set Up the Breading Station: In one bowl, whisk together the flour. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.
- Bread the Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it in the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Make the Hot Honey Glaze: In a small bowl, mix together the honey and hot sauce.
- Assemble the Dish: Drizzle the hot honey glaze over the cooked chicken. Top with crumbled feta cheese and optional toppings like chopped fresh parsley and red pepper flakes.
- Serve: Enjoy your Crispy Hot Honey Feta Chicken while it’s hot!
Notes
- Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Adjust the Spiciness: Taste the hot honey glaze before drizzling it over the chicken. You can always add more hot sauce if you want it spicier.
- Keep the Chicken Crispy: To keep the chicken crispy, avoid overcrowding the skillet. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
- Rest the Chicken: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute.
