Ingredients
  

Crispy Baked Chicken

  • 2 count large chicken breasts halved
  • 1.5 tablespoon Adobo seasoning
  • 0.5 tablespoon chili powder

Panko Breading & Other Binders

  • 1.25 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Hot Honey Sauce

  • 0.5 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • If the chicken breasts are large, half them to make 4 pieces.
  • Season with the adobo seasoning and chili powder, then set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare your bowls for breading.
  • One bowl will have the panko breadcrumbs and the listed seasonings, one bowl will have the eggs, hot sauce, and buttermilk, and the last bowl will just have the plain flour.
  • Dip the seasoned chicken into the plain flour bowl, followed by the liquid bowl, and then finally the panko breadcrumbs.
  • Preheat the oven to 400℉ and let the breaded chicken sit while it's heating up.
  • Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and bake for 20 minutes.
  • With just a couple minutes left in the cooking time, add the honey, cayenne, chili powder, and hot sauce to a sauce pot and stir on medium-low heat until the sauce is thinned and fully combined.
  • Brush the hot honey on the chicken breasts. Serve with freshly chopped parsley and enjoy!
