Ingredients
– 1/3 cup (110g) honey for the spicy-sweet sauce
– 1 1/2 teaspoons hot sauce to add heat to the sauce
– 3/4 teaspoon chili flakes for infusing extra spice into the honey
– 2 chicken breasts (each about 250g) sliced to make four even pieces for the main protein
– 2 teaspoons paprika part of the seasoning mix for the chicken
– 1 teaspoon salt to season the chicken evenly
– 1/2 teaspoon onion powder for adding depth to the seasoning
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder to enhance the aromatic flavors
– 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano for a savory herb note
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to balance the spices
– 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper for a kick of heat
– 35g (1/4 cup) plain flour used for dredging the chicken
– 2 beaten eggs for coating the chicken before breadcrumbs
– 65g (1 cup) panko breadcrumbs for a crispy outer layer
– 6-8 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying the chicken
– 200g (7oz) crumbled feta cheese to top and melt over the chicken
Instructions
1-First, slice the two chicken breasts (each about 250g) into four even pieces and season them with a mix of 2 teaspoons paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon each of onion powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper. This seasoning blend really brings out the bold flavors. Next, dredge the pieces in 35g (1/4 cup) plain flour mixed with half the seasoning, then dip them in 2 beaten eggs for a good coat.
2-After that, coat the chicken in 65g (1 cup) panko breadcrumbs mixed with the remaining seasoning for extra crunch. Heat 6-8 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan and fry the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until it’s golden and cooked through. Once done, top with 200g (7oz) crumbled feta cheese and place under the grill to soften and brown it.
3-While the chicken cooks, make the hot honey sauce by gently warming 1/3 cup (110g) honey with 1 1/2 teaspoons hot sauce and 3/4 teaspoon chili flakes. Drizzle this over the finished chicken before serving. For variations, you can bake instead of fry for a healthier option pair it with a simple dessert like ice cream sundaes to balance the meal.
