Crispy, juicy chicken breasts coated in a flavorful spice mix, fried to perfection, topped with creamy crumbled feta, and drizzled with a spicy-sweet hot honey glaze. A bold, satisfying dish ideal for busy evenings or entertaining guests.

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts, butterflied
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp hot sauce (e.g., Frank’s or Cholula)
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Gently warm honey, hot sauce, and red pepper flakes in a saucepan, then let cool to infuse.
  2. Butterfly chicken breasts into even pieces. Mix paprika, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, black pepper, and cayenne, then season chicken on both sides.
  3. Set up dredging station with seasoned flour, beaten eggs, and seasoned panko. Coat each piece of chicken in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs.
  4. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Fry chicken until golden and crispy, about 3–4 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack.
  5. Top each piece with crumbled feta and broil until cheese softens and begins to brown.
  6. Drizzle with prepared hot honey and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Bake instead of fry for a lighter version.
  • Grill with feta-brine marinade for a smoky twist.
  • Try goat cheese or halloumi as feta alternatives.
  • Use hot honey on vegetables like zucchini or carrots for a vegetarian option.
