Ingredients
  

  • 6 Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
  • 1/2 Teaspoon: Salt, Black Pepper, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Thyme, Sage, Lemon Pepper, Chicken Boullion Powder, each
  • 1/2 Cup Butter, melted

Dredge 1

  • 1/3 Cup All Purpose Flour
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1/4 Milk
  • 1 Teaspoon Seasoning Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Hot Sauce

Dredge 2

  • 6 Cups Cornflakes Cereal, crushed

Hot Honey

  • 1/2 Cup Honey
  • 2 Tablespoons Hot Sauce
  • 1 Teaspoons Cayenne
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Onion Powder u0026 Garlic Powder
  • Pinch Salt
  • 2 Teaspoons Red Chilli Flakes
  • 2 Teaspoons Apple Cider Vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 380 degrees F.
  • Add your chicken thighs to a bowl and add the spices on top. Mix well until all the chicken thighs are seasoned. Set aside for now.
  • In a bowl make your first dredge mixture. Add flour, eggs, milk, seasoning salt and hot sauce. Use a whisk to combine all ingredients so a mixture forms.
  • In another bowl add 6 cups of cornflakes cereal and use your hands to lightly crush the cereal. You want it to be the size of breadcrumb pieces.
  • Now it is time to dredge. Have a baking tray ready to place the chicken on once it is coated. Start by taking 1 chicken thigh and placing it in the flour egg mixture. Completely submerge the chicken until it is coated. Allow the excess mixture to drip off then place in the crushed cornflakes. Pack the cornflakes into the chicken and flip over and do the same. The chicken thigh should be evenly coated on all sides with cornflakes now. Place on a baking tray for now and repeat these steps with the rest of the the chicken thighs.
  • Once all of the chicken thighs have been been coated and are on the baking tray, brush melted butter on each side of each chicken thigh. Place into the oven and for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, You know the chicken is ready when it is crispy golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
  • While the chicken is cooking, make the hot honey. In a sauce pan add honey, hot sauce, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, chilli flakes, and apple cider vinegar. Bring to a light boil then set aside for now to cool.
  • Once the chicken is cooked and the hot honey is ready it is time to serve. Drizzle the hot honey over the chicken and serve with your favourite side, or even in a sandwich. Enjoy! :)

Notes

u003cliu003eYou may use chicken breasts instead of thighs. If so, I recommend butterflying the chicken breast in half (lengthwise) so it can bake easily. You may have to adjust the baking time to less if using chicken breast. u003c/liu003eu003cliu003eThis chicken will last up to 4 days in an airtight container in the fridge. I recommend adding the hot honey when you are about to eat it because otherwise it will get soggy. To re-heat, place in the oven on a low heat (200 degrees F.) until it is warmed, reheating in the oven will ensure it stays crispy. u003c/liu003e
