Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups cornflakes (use gluten free, if needed)
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce
  • 2 pounds chicken breast tenderloins
  • Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2–3 tablespoons hot sauce
  • 1–3 teaspoons cayenne pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Sea salt
  • Fresh thyme, cilantro, or parsley, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor, combine the cornflakes, parmesan, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Pulse until you have fine crumbs.
  3. Dump the crumbs into a shallow bowl.
  4. Beat the eggs in a bowl, add the hot sauce and chicken, and toss well to coat.
  5. Dredge the chicken through the crumbs, fully covering it. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until crisp all around.
  7. Just before the chicken is done cooking, warm together honey, hot sauce, cayenne, chili powder, onion powder, and garlic powder in a pot.
  8. Drizzle the warm sauce over the chicken. Top with herbs before serving.

Notes

Use gluten-free cornflakes for a gluten-free version. Adjust spices to taste preferences.
