A bold and flavorful dish of crispy breaded chicken topped with creamy feta and drizzled with spicy hot honey, offering a perfect balance of textures and flavors.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1½ tsp hot sauce (like Frank’s or Cholula)
  • ¾ tsp chili flakes
  • 2 chicken breasts (butterflied or pounded thin)
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
  • ¼ cup plain flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 6–8 tbsp vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 200 g crumbled feta

Instructions

  1. In a small pot or bowl, gently warm the honey, hot sauce, and chili flakes until fragrant. Stir and let cool for the flavors to meld.
  2. Season the chicken with paprika, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, black pepper, and cayenne.
  3. Set up a dredging station: flour with half the seasoning, beaten eggs in the center, and Panko mixed with remaining seasoning.
  4. Coat each chicken piece in flour, egg, then Panko.
  5. Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat; fry chicken 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Drain on a wire rack.
  6. Top each piece with crumbled feta and broil until the cheese softens and begins to brown.
  7. Drizzle with hot honey and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm it in a 180°C oven, then add fresh feta and a drizzle of honey.
  • If baking instead of frying, place chicken on a baking sheet, spray with oil, and bake at 220°C for about 10 minutes per side until golden.
  • If feta is unavailable, try goat cheese or firm ricotta as a substitute.
  • Adjust the heat level by varying the amount of chili flakes or hot sauce.
