Ingredients
– 1/3 cup (110g) honey
– 1 1/2 teaspoons hot sauce
– 3/4 teaspoon chili flakes
– 2 chicken breasts (2x 250g/9oz each)
– 2 teaspoons paprika
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
– 35g (1/4 cup) plain flour
– 2 eggs, beaten
– 65g (1 cup) breadcrumbs (Panko style for crispiness)
– Vegetable oil, about 6-8 tablespoons for frying
– 200g (7oz) crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
1-Getting started: with hot honey feta chicken is as simple as following a few clear steps. First, prepare all ingredients by combining the honey, hot sauce, and chili flakes in a bowl, warming them gently, stirring, and letting them cool to infuse the flavors. Next, slice the chicken breasts horizontally into 4 even pieces to ensure even cooking.
2-Then, mix the paprika, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, cayenne pepper, and black pepper in a small bowl. Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour mixed with half the seasoning, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with the remaining seasoning. Dredge each chicken piece through the flour, then egg, and finally breadcrumbs for a thorough coating.
3-Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat and fry the chicken pieces for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through, working in batches if needed. After frying, place the chicken on a wire rack over a tray, crumble the feta over the pieces, and grill until the feta turns golden and soft. Finally, drizzle with the desired amount of hot honey and serve immediately for a spicy-sweet treat. For dietary adaptations, swap chicken for tofu or tempeh and adjust cooking times as needed while verifying all labels for allergens.
