Description

A recipe for baked chicken coated in a sweet and spicy hot honey glaze, resulting in a crunchy exterior.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken pieces (breasts or thighs)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Set up a dredging station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, combine the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
  3. In the second dish, whisk together the eggs and milk.
  4. In the third dish, place the panko breadcrumbs.
  5. Dredge each piece of chicken first in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
  6. Dip the floured chicken into the egg wash, letting excess drip off.
  7. Coat the chicken thoroughly in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  8. Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 20 minutes.
  10. While the chicken bakes, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the honey, hot sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Heat over low heat until smooth and slightly runny. Do not boil.
  11. After 20 minutes of baking, brush the hot honey glaze generously over the chicken pieces.
  12. Return the chicken to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden brown and crisp.
  13. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, you can spray the breaded chicken lightly with cooking spray before the first bake.
  • Adjust the amount of hot sauce in the glaze to control the spice level.
