Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoon hot sauce (adjust to taste)
- 3 cup cornflakes, crushed
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tablespoon hot sauce (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon mustard powder
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Crush the cornflakes into small, crumbly pieces using a food processor or rolling pin.
3. Set up three shallow bowls:
Bowl 1: Mix the flour and light brown sugar.
Bowl 2: Whisk together the eggs and hot sauce.
Bowl 3: Combine the crushed cornflakes with paprika, chili powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
4. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Coat each piece in the flour mixture, dip it in the egg wash, and then roll it in the cornflake mixture.
5. Arrange the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray them with nonstick cooking spray. Bake for 15–16 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
6. While the chicken is baking, prepare the hot honey sauce by combining honey, hot sauce, butter, light brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and mustard powder in a saucepan over low heat. Stir until smooth.
7. Once baked, drizzle the hot honey sauce over the chicken and serve.
