  • 3 Large Shallow Dishes
  • Large Tray and Wire Rack
  • Large Pan & Tongs

Ingredients
  

Sweet and Spicy Mixture

  • ⅓ cup Honey
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Hot Sauce I like Frank's or Cholula
  • ¾ teaspoon Chilli Flakes

Chicken

  • 2 pieces Chicken Breasts 250g/9oz each

Seasoning

  • 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

Coating

  • 35 g Plain Flour ¼ cup
  • 2 pieces Eggs beaten
  • 65 g Panko Breadcrumbs 1 cup
  • Veg Oil as needed (6-8 tbsp)

Topping

  • 200 g Feta crumbled

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • 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 for coating chicken.

Cooking

  • Dredge the chicken through the flour, into the egg, and then the breadcrumbs.
  • Add enough oil to coat the base of a large pan and place it over medium-high heat. Carefully place in the chicken and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side.
  • Add the crumbled feta on top of the chicken and place under the grill on high until it starts turning golden.
  • Serve with hot honey drizzled over.

Notes

Hot honey can be adjusted to your preferred spiciness and can also be made ahead of time. Baking instructions are provided as an alternative to frying.
