# Steps:
01 -
Combine honey, hot sauce, and chili flakes in a small bowl. Microwave for 20 seconds or simmer on the stove. Let cool before setting aside for later drizzle.
02 -
Slice chicken breasts horizontally to create four evenly-sized pieces for faster cooking.
03 -
Combine paprika, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, cayenne, and black pepper in a small bowl. Divide the mix into two portions.
04 -
Prepare three dishes: seasoned flour (first portion of spices), beaten eggs, and Panko breadcrumbs (mixed with remaining spices).
05 -
Dredge chicken in seasoned flour, dip into eggs, then coat with Panko. Place on a tray in preparation for frying.
06 -
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Fry chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Fry in batches if necessary.
07 -
Place fried chicken on a wire rack. Top generously with crumbled feta and grill until cheese melts and edges turn golden.
08 -
Drizzle cooled hot honey over the feta-topped chicken. Serve immediately. Store extra hot honey in the fridge for later use.
# Notes & Tips:
01 -
Let the hot honey cool before drizzling to ensure proper texture.
02 -
Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying for a crispy finish.
03 -
Use a generous amount of feta to achieve optimal melting and golden edges.
