LET’S MAKE SOMETHING GOOD
The method
- 01
Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly oil a large baking sheet. Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and paprika.
- 02
Place flour, beaten eggs, and panko in separate dishes. Coat the chicken in flour, egg, then panko, pressing lightly to help it stick.
- 03
Arrange on the sheet without crowding and drizzle with oil. Discard any breading that touched raw chicken.
- 04
Bake for 15–20 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and the center reaches 165°F (74°C). Continue cooking if needed.

Drizzle with hot honey just before serving, or keep it in a clean dipping bowl on the side.
Times are estimates. Check doneness and any required internal temperature before serving.
A little sweet. A little heat. All yours.
