  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

– 1/3 cup (110g) honey

– 1 1/2 tsp hot sauce

– 3/4 tsp chili flakes

– 2 chicken breasts (each 250g/9oz)

– 2 tsp paprika

– 1 tsp salt

– 1/2 tsp onion powder

– 1/2 tsp garlic powder

– 1/2 tsp dried oregano

– 1/2 tsp black pepper

– 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

– 35g (1/4 cup) plain flour

– 2 eggs, beaten

– 65g (1 cup) Panko breadcrumbs

– 6-8 tbsp vegetable oil for frying

– 200g (7oz) feta cheese, crumbled

Instructions

1-Gathering and Preparing Ingredients: First, combine 1/3 cup honey, 1 1/2 tsp hot sauce, and 3/4 tsp chili flakes in a bowl and gently warm them to infuse the flavors, then let the mixture cool. This hot honey is the star, giving that spicy-sweet drizzle we all love. Next, season your 2 chicken breasts (sliced into 4 even pieces) with a spice mix including 2 tsp paprika, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp each of onion powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, and black pepper, plus 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper for an extra kick.

2-Coating and Cooking the Chicken: Set up three shallow dishes: one with 35g plain flour mixed with half the seasoning, another with 2 beaten eggs, and the last with 65g Panko breadcrumbs mixed with the remaining seasoning. Dredge each chicken piece in flour, then egg, and finally breadcrumbs for a thorough coating that ensures maximum crunch. Heat 6-8 tbsp vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat and fry the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until it’s deep golden and cooked through, working in batches if needed.

3-Finishing and Serving: Once fried, place the chicken on a wire rack above a tray and top each piece with 200g crumbled feta cheese. Grill on high until the feta softens and turns slightly golden, which only takes a minute or two. Finally, serve with as much hot honey drizzled over as you like the preparation time is just 20 minutes prep and 15 minutes cook, totaling 35 minutes.

Notes

🌢 Adjust chili flakes and hot sauce amounts to customize the spicy heat of the hot honey.
🍳 For a healthier option, bake the breaded chicken at 430°F (220°C) instead of frying, flipping halfway through.
πŸ§€ Feta cheese adds a salty and creamy texture that’s perfect when melted; try other cheeses once comfortable with this recipe.
