Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, hot sauce, and chili flakes until evenly combined. Warm the mixture in the microwave for about 20 seconds or simmer gently on the stove for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Allow it to cool down slightly.
  2. Horizontally slice the chicken breasts into thinner cutlets for even cooking.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine paprika, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Stir well.
  4. Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour mixed with half of the seasoning, dip in beaten eggs, and coat with Panko mixed with remaining seasoning.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken cutlets for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  6. Scattered crumbled feta cheese over each cutlet while still hot. Place under broiler for 1-2 minutes until golden and slightly melted.
  7. Drizzle the prepared hot honey over the chicken and feta while still warm and serve.
