Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Hot Honey Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine honey, hot sauce, and chili flakes over low heat. Stir gently for about 5 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Slice the Chicken: Slice chicken breasts horizontally into 4 even pieces, about ½ inch thick.
  3. Mix the Seasoning: In a medium bowl, combine paprika, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
  4. Set Up the Breading Stations: Create a breading station with flour mixed with half the seasoning in one bowl, beaten eggs in a second, and Panko breadcrumbs with remaining seasoning in a third.
  5. Dredge the Chicken: Coat each chicken piece in the flour, then dip in eggs, and finally coat in Panko breadcrumbs.
  6. Fry the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
  7. Add the Feta and Broil: Sprinkle crumbled feta over chicken while hot. Broil for 2–3 minutes until the feta is bubbly.
  8. Drizzle with Hot Honey and Serve: Remove from oven and drizzle hot honey sauce over chicken. Serve immediately.
