Creating Baked Crunchy Hot Honey Chicken is a breeze if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Pat dry the chicken thighs with paper towels. This helps the coating stick better.
3. Set Up Breading Station: In one bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, whisk the eggs. In a third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
4. Bread the Chicken: Dip each chicken thigh into the flour, shaking off excess. Next, dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with the panko mixture. Ensure each piece is well coated.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the breaded chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking.
6. Drizzle with Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil over the chicken to promote crispiness.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
8. Prepare Hot Honey: While the chicken is baking, heat the hot honey in a small saucepan over low heat until warm. This enhances its flavor and makes it easier to drizzle.
9. Glaze the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and drizzle the warm hot honey over each piece.
10. Cool Slightly: Let the chicken cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the coating to set.
