  • Author: Yara Collins

Ingredients

– 1.5 pounds chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko preferred for crunchiness)
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 teaspoons garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika

– 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for heat preference)
– ½ cup hot honey (store-bought or homemade)
– Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Baked Crunchy Hot Honey Chicken is a simple process when you follow these steps:

1. Preheat your Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, soak the chicken thighs in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours.
3. Prepare Breading: In a separate bowl, mix breadcrumbs, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne.
4. Coat Chicken: Remove chicken from buttermilk and allow excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated chicken on a greased baking sheet, ensuring they don’t touch for even cooking.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (165°F internally).
7. Add Hot Honey: Drizzle hot honey over the chicken pieces during the last 5 minutes of baking for a sticky, sweet coating.
8. Garnish: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it sit for a few moments. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
