Wskazówki

Combine honey, hot sauce & chilli flakes in a bowl & warm in the microwave (20 secs or so). Stir then leave to cool. You can also do this on the stove in a small pot (just bring to a simmer then remove and cool). Adjust heat with chilli flakes/hot sauce if desired.

Horizontally slice the chicken breasts right through the centre to create 4 even-sized breasts. In a small pot/bowl combine paprika, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, cayenne & black pepper.

Line up 3 large shallow dishes & place a large tray at the end. 1st = flour + 1/2 seasoning, 2nd = beaten egg, 3rd = Panko + rest of the seasoning. One by one dredge the chicken through flour, egg then Panko then place on tray. Thoroughly coat at each stage (namely the breadcrumbs).

Add enough oil to coat the base of a large pan & place it over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot enough that a breadcrumb rapidly sizzles, place in the chicken (if you can’t fit 4 pieces then work in 2 batches, top up the oil in between if needed). Fry for 3-4mins each side or until deep golden on the outside & white/piping hot through the centre. Place on a wire rack above the tray.

Cover chicken in feta & place under the grill/broiler on high until it starts turning golden. Serve with your preferred amount of honey & enjoy (store leftover honey).
