Baked Crunchy Hot Honey Chicken: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe

Ingredients

– 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
– ½ cup all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs
– 1 tablespoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– ½ cup hot honey (store-bought or homemade)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Follow these easy steps to create your Baked Crunchy Hot Honey Chicken:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. This helps the coating stick.
3. Set Up Breading Station: In one bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, whisk the eggs. In a third bowl, combine breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Coat Chicken: Dredge each chicken thigh in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, coat thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the breaded chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil to help them crisp up while baking.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
7. Prepare Hot Honey Glaze: While the chicken is baking, heat the hot honey in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until warm.
8. Coat Chicken with Hot Honey: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven. Drizzle the warm hot honey sauce over the crispy chicken.
9. Rest Before Serving: Allow the chicken to rest for about 5-10 minutes to let the flavors meld.

These steps make it simple to create an absolutely delicious dish that will leave everyone asking for the recipe!
