Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
– ½ cup hot honey
– Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your own Crispy Hot Honey Feta Chicken:
1. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a bowl and pour the buttermilk over them. Ensure all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to tenderize.
2. Prepare the Coating: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
3. Preheat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4. Coat the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and allow excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.
5. Fry the Chicken: Carefully place the coated chicken breasts in the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they’re golden brown and fully cooked through.
6. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a wire rack or a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
7. Add Feta: While the chicken is still hot, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top of each piece.
8. Drizzle with Hot Honey: Drizzle a generous amount of hot honey over the chicken and feta.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
10. Serve: Serve the chicken hot and enjoy the crispy, sweet, and tangy flavors!
