Equipment

  • Sharp Knife & Chopping Board
  • 2 Small Bowls
  • 3 Large Shallow Dishes
  • Large Tray and Wire Rack
  • Large Pan & Tongs

Ingredients
  

  • 110 g Honey
  • 1.5 teaspoon Hot Sauce I like Frank's or Cholula
  • ¾ teaspoon Chilli Flakes
  • 500 g Chicken Breasts 2x 250g/9oz
  • 2 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 35 g Plain Flour
  • 2 Eggs beaten
  • 65 g Panko Breadcrumbs
  • tablespoon Veg Oil as needed (6-8 tbsp)
  • 200 g Feta crumbled

Instructions
 

  • Combine the honey, hot sauce and chilli flakes in a bowl and warm in the microwave (20 seconds or so). Stir then leave to cool.
  • Horizontally slice the chicken breasts right through the centre to create 4 even-sized breasts.
  • In a small pot or bowl combine the paprika, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, cayenne and black pepper.
  • Line up 3 large shallow dishes and place a large tray at the end. The first bowl is flour + half of the seasoning mix, the second is beaten egg and the 3rd is the Panko with the rest of the seasoning.
  • One by one take the chicken and dredge through the flour, into the egg, then the breadcrumbs and finish by placing on the tray.
  • Add enough oil to coat the base of a large pan and place it over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place in the chicken and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side or until deep golden and crispy.
  • Add the crumbled feta, covering as much of the chicken as possible, then place under the grill on high until it starts turning golden.
  • Serve with your preferred amount of hot honey drizzled over and enjoy.

Notes

Hot Honey can be adjusted for preferred spiciness. Can also be made ahead and stored in the fridge. Chicken can be baked instead of fried if desired.
