Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • shallow plates
  • Mixing Bowls

Ingredients
  

Crispy Chicken

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into cutlets
  • 2 cups corn flakes, finely crushed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • Kosher salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled

Hot Honey Drizzle

  • 0.25 cup honey
  • 1-2 tablespoons sriracha or hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes Optional

Instructions
 

Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425° F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Prepare your station. In a shallow plate, season the chicken breasts with the seasonings on all sides.
  • In a second plate, add the all-purpose flour. A third one for the crushed corn flakes. And in the last one, beat the eggs together with the olive oil and a pinch of salt.
  • Dredge the seasoned cutlets in flour, then dip them in beaten eggs, and finish with an even coating of breadcrumbs (crushed cornflakes). Place on the prepared sheet pan.
  • Bake for 15 minutes; the chicken may not be cooked through yet, and that's fine.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the honey, sriracha, apple cider vinegar, and crushed red pepper flakes.
  • Remove from the oven, top with feta cheese evenly on each chicken breast.
  • Drizzle with the hot honey sauce. Return to the preheated oven and continue baking for about 10 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked through and the cutlets are golden.

Notes

Press cornflakes firmly for the best adhesion and crunch. Adjust sriracha to taste. Rest chicken 2-3 min post-bake so the feta stays put. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 375°F air fryer 4-5 min to revive crisp.
