Ingredients
-
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
-
2 cups cornflakes, crushed
-
1 cup plain breadcrumbs
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
-
2 eggs
-
1/4 cup milk
-
1/2 cup honey
-
1–2 tablespoons hot sauce (adjust to taste)
-
Cooking spray or a little oil for greasing
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray or brush with oil.
-
Crush the cornflakes into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or food processor. Mix them in a shallow bowl with breadcrumbs, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
-
In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.
-
Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, then coat it thoroughly in the cornflake mixture. Press down to help the crumbs stick.
-
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray or drizzle a bit of oil on top to help it crisp.
-
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crunchy. Internal temp should reach 165°F.
-
While the chicken bakes, in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, warm the honey and stir in the hot sauce to make the hot honey glaze.
-
Once the chicken is done, drizzle the hot honey over the top or serve it on the side for dipping.
