Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Chicken:
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 2 cups cornflakes cereal crushed
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Cooking spray or vegetable oil for greasing
For the Hot Honey Glaze:
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce adjust to taste
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease with cooking spray or vegetable oil.
  2. Prepare the Coating: Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and crushed cornflakes mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a third.
  3. Coat the Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, dip into the beaten eggs, and then coat thoroughly with the seasoned cornflake mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  4. Bake Until Crispy: Arrange the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C).
  5. Make the Hot Honey Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, hot sauce, melted butter, and apple cider vinegar.
  6. Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the hot honey glaze over the crispy chicken or serve on the side for dipping. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

    • For extra crispiness, flip the chicken halfway through baking.
    • Adjust the spice level of the hot honey glaze by increasing or decreasing the amount of hot sauce.
    • To make this dish in an air fryer, cook at 375°F (190°C) for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through.
    • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
