# Ingredients:
→ Chicken Prep
01 -
4 pieces of chicken breast, no skin or bones (roughly 1.5 lbs)
02 -
1 cup panko-style bread crumbs
03 -
1 cup plain flour
04 -
2 eggs, large
05 -
1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder
08 -

→ Spicy Honey Glaze
09 -
Half a cup of honey
10 -
1 to 2 tablespoons of hot sauce (pick your heat level)
11 -
A tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
→ For Garnish
12 -
Half a cup crumbled feta cheese
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 400°F (about 200°C). Get a baking tray and line it with parchment or give a baking rack a light spray of oil.
02 -
Get three shallow dishes ready: Mix flour with spices and salt in one. Beat the eggs smooth in another. Put panko breadcrumbs in the last.
03 -
Take one chicken piece at a time. Dust it with the flour blend, give it a dip in the eggs, then cover it in breadcrumbs. Press gently to help them stick.
04 -
Place the coated chicken onto the tray. Let it bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping it halfway. Keep baking until it's crispy and hits 165°F (75°C) inside.
05 -
While your chicken's in the oven, heat honey, hot sauce, and apple cider vinegar on medium in a small pan. Stir well and tweak the spice to your taste.
06 -
Once the chicken's done, drizzle that warm honey mixture over the top. Sprinkle some crumbled feta cheese right after so it softens just a bit.
