Equipment

  • Sharp Knife & Chopping Board
  • 2 Small Bowls
  • 3 Large Shallow Dishes
  • Large Tray and Wire Rack
  • Large Pan & Tongs

Ingredients
  

Hot Honey Sauce

  • ⅓ cup Honey
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Hot Sauce I like Frank's or Cholula
  • ¾ teaspoon Chilli Flakes

Chicken Coating

  • 2 250g Chicken Breasts
  • 2 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 35 g Plain Flour
  • 2 Eggs beaten
  • 65 g Panko Breadcrumbs
  • as needed Veg Oil (6-8 tbsp)

Topping

  • 200 g Feta crumbled

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Combine the honey, hot sauce, and chilli flakes in a bowl and warm in the microwave for about 20 seconds. Stir and leave to cool.
  • Horizontally slice the chicken breasts to create 4 even-sized pieces.
  • In a small bowl, combine the paprika, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, cayenne, and black pepper.
  • Prepare 3 shallow dishes: one with flour and half of the seasoning mix, the second with beaten egg, and the third with Panko and the remaining seasoning.
  • Dredge the chicken in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, coating thoroughly.

Cooking

  • Heat enough oil to cover the base of a large pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
  • Place the fried chicken on a wire rack.
  • Top the chicken with crumbled feta and grill on high until golden and soft.
  • Serve drizzled with hot honey and enjoy.

Notes

Hot honey can be adjusted for spiciness by varying the amount of chilli flakes and hot sauce. Store leftover honey in the fridge.
