  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup hot honey

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Prepare your chicken by patting it dry with paper towels.
  3. Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for panko mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Coat each piece of chicken with flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the egg, and finally coat with the panko mixture.
  5. Place the coated chicken pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes.
  8. Drizzle the hot honey over the baked chicken just before serving.
