Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large boneless/skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ cup flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 5 cups cornflakes
  • ½ cup honey
  • ¼ cup hot sauce
  • 3 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This is crucial for getting that perfect golden-brown finish on your chicken.
  2. While the oven heats, prepare a nonstick baking sheet by spraying it with cooking spray. This prevents sticking and ensures easy cleanup.
  3. Set up your breading station: in one bowl, combine the flour with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and the hot sauce until well combined. In a third bowl, crush the cornflakes and mix them with paprika and any other desired spices.
  4. Coat each chicken breast in the flour mixture first, making sure to shake off any excess to avoid clumping. This step is essential for helping the egg wash stick.
  5. Next, dip the floured chicken into the egg wash. Make sure each piece is well-coated; this is what helps the cornflakes adhere.
  6. Finally, roll the chicken in the cornflake mixture, pressing down gently to ensure a good layer of crunch. Avoid the temptation to rush this step; a thorough coating is key!
  7. Place the coated chicken on your prepared baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes. Keep an eye out for a golden brown color and an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure it’s fully cooked.
  8. While your chicken is baking, prepare the hot honey sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the honey, hot sauce, butter, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and spices together. Stir until smooth and combined, about 5 minutes. The sauce should be glossy and slightly thickened.
  9. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and drizzle the hot honey sauce generously over the top. Let it sit for a minute to absorb the flavors before serving.

Nutrition

Keywords: Let the breading set for 5 minutes before baking for better adherence. For extra crispiness, use a wire rack on your baking sheet. Adjust the hot sauce to honey ratio based on your spice tolerance.
