Ingredients
⅓ cup (110 g) honey
1½ tsp hot sauce (like Frank’s or Cholula)
¾ tsp chili flakes
2 × 250 g (9 oz) chicken breasts, halved horizontally
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
½ tsp each onion powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, black pepper
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
35 g (¼ cup) plain flour
2 eggs, beaten
65 g (1 cup) Panko breadcrumbs
6–8 tbsp vegetable oil, for frying
200 g (7 oz) feta cheese, crumbled
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, combine honey, chili flakes, and hot sauce. Warm slightly and let rest to infuse.
2. Slice chicken into thin cutlets. Mix spices and divide between flour and breadcrumbs.
3. Set up three bowls: seasoned flour, beaten eggs, and spiced Panko.
4. Coat each cutlet in flour, dip in egg, then press into breadcrumbs until fully coated.
5. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high and fry each piece for 3–4 minutes per side until golden.
6. Place fried chicken on a baking sheet, top with feta, and broil for 1–2 minutes until slightly browned.
7. Drizzle the warm honey mixture over the hot chicken and serve immediately.
Notes
Serve with roasted vegetables, salad, or mashed potatoes.
The hot honey can be made up to a week ahead and reheated before serving.
Substitute feta with goat cheese or ricotta salata for a milder version.
Reheat leftovers in an oven to keep the crust crisp.
