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
Vegetable oil as needed (6-8 tbsp)
200g (7oz) crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
1-First: combine the honey, hot sauce, and chili flakes in a bowl and warm it briefly to let the flavors blend, then let it cool.
2-Next: slice the chicken breasts horizontally through the center to make four even pieces for uniform cooking.
3: In a small dish, mix the paprika, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, and black pepper to create your seasoning blend.
4: Prepare three shallow dishes: one with the flour mixed with half the seasoning, one with the beaten eggs, and one with the panko breadcrumbs mixed with the remaining seasoning.
5: Dredge each Chicken piece first in the flour mixture, then in the egg, and finally in the seasoned panko breadcrumbs, ensuring a thorough coat each time.
6: Heat vegetable oil in a large pan and fry the chicken pieces for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
7: After frying, place the chicken on a wire rack over a tray to drain any excess oil.
8: Crumble the feta cheese over the chicken and grill it until the cheese softens and turns lightly golden.
9: Finally, drizzle the honey mixture over the chicken as desired before serving.
10: For those wanting a healthier twist, try baking: pre-toast the seasoned breadcrumbs in the oven at 350ยฐF for 5 minutes, then bake the coated chicken at 430ยฐF, turning halfway, until golden and cooked through, finishing with cheese under the grill.
