Equipment

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

Ingredients
  

Honey Mixture

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

Chicken Coating

  • 2 pieces Chicken Breasts 250g/9oz each
  • 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 ¼ cup
  • 65 g Panko Breadcrumbs 1 cup
  • Veg Oil as needed (6-8 tbsp)
  • 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 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 enough, carefully place in the chicken. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side 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 hot honey drizzled over and enjoy.

Notes

You can adjust the spiciness of the hot honey by adding more chilli flakes or hot sauce to taste. Baking instructions are available as an alternative method.
