Crispy Hot Honey Feta Chicken is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish featuring tender chicken breasts coated in crispy breadcrumbs, baked or fried to golden perfection, then topped with tangy feta cheese and a drizzle of spicy hot honey for a perfect balance of sweet heat and savory richness.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 large chicken breasts

Breading

  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs, beaten

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup hot honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Begin by trimming any excess fat from the chicken breasts. If desired, slice them into even pieces or keep whole for baking or frying.
  2. Bread the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated. Next, dredge the chicken into the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere a crispy coating evenly on all sides.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Choose your cooking method: either bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes until golden and cooked through, or fry in a skillet over medium heat with oil until the crust is crisp and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  4. Add Hot Honey and Feta: Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a serving plate. Drizzle generously with hot honey to add sweetness and heat, then sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top to provide a creamy, tangy contrast.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately as a main dish with your favorite sides, allowing the hot honey to soak into the crispy breading and feta to melt slightly for maximum flavor.

Notes

  • For extra heat, use spicy chili-infused honey as your hot honey drizzle.
  • Adjust cooking time depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
  • Use panko breadcrumbs for an even crispier texture.
  • Can be paired with fresh salads or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal.
  • If baking, consider spraying the breaded chicken with cooking spray to enhance browning and crispness.
