Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 pieces eggs beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- oil for frying
For the Hot Honey Drizzle
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce or to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare dredging stations: in one dish, combine flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika; in a second dish, beat the eggs; in a third dish, place the breadcrumbs.
Coating the Chicken
- Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg, and finally roll in the breadcrumbs.
Cooking
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken cutlets for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).
- Remove the cutlets and let them drain on paper towels.
Preparing the Drizzle
- In a small saucepan, combine honey and hot sauce. Heat over low until warm and well-combined.
- Drizzle the hot honey mixture over the crispy chicken cutlets.
Serving
- Slice the cutlets and serve with a side salad or roasted vegetables. Provide additional hot honey on the side.
Notes
You can marinate chicken in salt, paprika, and hot sauce for extra flavor. For a healthier option, bake instead of frying.
