Instructions
Creating Crispy Hot Honey Feta Chicken is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for an incredible meal:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts and buttermilk. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) in the refrigerator.
2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Prepare the Coating: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
4. Coat the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and let excess liquid drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, coating well.
5. Bake the Chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
6. Prepare the Hot Honey Sauce: While the chicken is baking, combine honey and hot sauce in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until heated through and well combined.
7. Add Feta: Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven. Drizzle the hot honey sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese.
8. Rest the Chicken: Let the chicken sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
9. Garnish: Before serving, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color.
