Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 2 cups cornflakes
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup hot sauce (for egg wash)
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp red spices (chili powder/paprika/cayenne)
  • 2 tbsp hot sauce (for sauce)
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tbsp assorted seasonings (garlic powder, onion powder, etc.)
  • 1 sprig fresh thyme
Method
  1. 1Crush cornflakes, grated cheese, and seasonings in a food processor to create a coarse breading, then transfer to a shallow dish.
  2. 2In a separate bowl, whisk eggs with a generous amount of hot sauce to make the egg wash.
  3. 3Dip raw chicken cutlets first into the hot sauce-infused egg wash, then coat fully with the cornflake mixture, pressing firmly for a thick layer.
  4. 4Arrange the breaded chicken pieces on a baking sheet and drizzle with melted butter.
  5. 5Bake the chicken in the oven until golden-brown and crisp.
  6. 6While chicken bakes, combine honey, butter, and red spices in a small pot on the stove; stir until butter melts and spices are incorporated.
  7. 7Stir additional hot sauce into the honey butter mixture.
  8. 8Once baked, generously drizzle the warm spicy honey butter sauce over each chicken piece.
  9. 9Garnish with flaky sea salt and fresh thyme sprigs before serving.
