Description
Crispy baked chicken coated in a sweet and spicy hot honey glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup hot honey
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
- In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. In another shallow dish, place the beaten eggs. In a third shallow dish, place the panko breadcrumbs.
- Dredge each chicken thigh first in the flour mixture, then dip it into the eggs, and finally coat it thoroughly with the panko breadcrumbs. Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- While the chicken is baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the hot honey and paprika. Cook for 1-2 minutes until combined.
- Once the chicken is baked, brush the hot honey glaze over the chicken pieces. Return to the oven for another 2-3 minutes to let the glaze set.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can spray the panko-coated chicken with cooking spray before baking.
- Adjust the amount of hot honey to your spice preference.
