Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into cutlets)
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ¼ cup olive oil (for frying)

For the Hot Honey Sauce:

• ½ cup honey
• 2 tablespoons hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
2. • Place the chicken cutlets in a bowl and cover with buttermilk. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes to tenderize and add flavor.
3. Dredge the Chicken:
4. • In a shallow dish, combine the flour, panko breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting the excess drip off, and dredge each piece in the flour mixture until well coated.
5. Cook the Chicken:
6. • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cutlets and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
7. Make the Hot Honey Sauce:
8. • In a small saucepan, combine the honey, hot sauce, red pepper flakes, and garlic powder. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is well combined and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
9. Coat the Chicken:
10. • Brush the hot honey sauce generously over the cooked chicken cutlets, ensuring they are well coated.
11. Serve:
12. • Serve the hot honey chicken immediately, garnished with extra red pepper flakes if desired. This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.

Conclusion:

Hot Honey Chicken is a fantastic dish that balances the sweetness of honey with the spiciness of hot sauce, creating a flavor explosion in every bite. The crispy chicken cutlets are perfectly complemented by the sticky, spicy glaze, making this a dish that’s sure to impress. Whether you’re cooking for a family dinner or a special occasion, this recipe is a winner. Enjoy the delightful combination of sweetness and heat with this easy-to-make hot honey chicken!
