Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups cornflakes cereal, crushed
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking spray or vegetable oil (for greasing)
For the Hot Honey Glaze:
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce (adjust to your spice preference)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and lightly grease it with cooking spray or vegetable oil. This will help the chicken cook evenly and become crispy.
2. Prepare the Chicken:
- Start by setting up a breading station. In one shallow dish, place the flour. In another dish, beat the eggs. In a third dish, combine the crushed cornflakes, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
3. Coat the Chicken:
- Take each chicken breast and dip it into the flour, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
- Next, dip the chicken into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Finally, coat the chicken with the seasoned cornflakes mixture, pressing it onto the chicken to adhere.
4. Place on Wire Rack:
- Place the breaded chicken breasts on the prepared wire rack on the baking sheet. Make sure there is some space between each piece for even cooking.
5. Bake the Chicken:
- Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
6. Prepare the Hot Honey Glaze:
- While the chicken is baking, prepare the hot honey glaze. In a small bowl, mix together the honey, hot sauce, melted butter, and apple cider vinegar. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your desired level of spiciness.
7. Apply the Glaze:
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven. Brush the hot honey glaze generously over each piece of chicken while it’s still hot.
8. Serve:
- Allow the chicken to cool slightly, then serve it with your favorite side dishes. It’s delicious with coleslaw, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
Enjoy your homemade Baked Crunchy Hot Honey Chicken – a flavorful and satisfying dish that’s perfect for those who crave the combination of crispy, tender chicken with a sweet and spicy twist. It’s a family-friendly favorite that’s sure to please!

Baked Crunchy Hot Honey Chicken Recipe
- Advertisem*nt -
If you're looking for a dish that combines the irresistible combination of crispy, crunchy chicken with a sweet and spicy kick, this Baked Crunchy Hot Honey Chicken is the perfect choice. It's easy to make, healthier than deep-fried alternatives, and packed with flavor. Let's dive into the recipe!
Ingredients
- 6 cups cornflakes (use gluten free, if needed)
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 2 pounds chicken breast tenderloins
- extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Hot Honey:
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2-3 tablespoons hot sauce
- 1-3 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- sea salt
- fresh thyme, cilantro, or parsley, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, combine the cornflakes, parmesan, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Pulse until you have fine crumbs. Alternatively, you can crush the crumbs in a ziplock bag by stepping on them. Dump the crumbs into a shallow bowl.
- Beat the eggs in a bowl, add the hot sauce and chicken, and toss well to coat.
- Dredge the chicken through the crumbs, covering fully. Place on the prepared baking sheet. For a thicker coating, dip the chicken back through the eggs, then through the crumbs a 2nd time. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until crisp all around.
- Just before the chicken is done cooking, make the sauce. In a sauce pot, warm together the honey, hot sauce, cayenne, chili powder, onion powder, and garlic powder, plus a pinch of salt.
- Drizzle the warm sauce over the chicken. Top with herbs. If the sauce thickens, warm for 5 seconds in the microwave. Enjoy!
