Ingredients

Scale

  • Chicken breasts or thighs: 4 (about 1.5 to 2 pounds)
  • Panko breadcrumbs: 1 1/2 cups
  • Eggs: 2, beaten
  • Flour: 1 cup (for dredging)
  • Hot honey: 1/2 cup
  • Feta cheese: 3/4 cup, crumbled
  • Olive oil: 2-3 tablespoons (for frying)
  • Salt and pepper: to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the Chicken: Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour, dip in beaten egg, and coat in panko breadcrumbs for a crispy crust.
  2. Fry the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
  3. Prepare the Hot Honey Sauce: Heat hot honey in a small saucepan over low heat. Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness and stir until smooth. Add cayenne or red pepper flakes for extra spice if desired.
  4. Top with Feta: Drizzle the hot honey sauce over the chicken, then crumble feta cheese on top. The heat from the chicken will slightly melt the feta, adding a creamy texture.

Notes

  • Double coat the chicken for extra crispiness by dipping it again in egg and breadcrumbs.
  • For extra heat, add chopped jalapeños or drizzle sriracha over the top.
  • Chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts for juicier, more flavorful meat.
