Hot Honey Chicken Recipe

Hot Honey Chicken is a delectable dish that combines the perfect balance of sweetness and spice. The crispy, cornflake-coated chicken fillets are seasoned with a blend of garlic, onion, smoked paprika, and chilli flakes, then coated in a tantalizing hot honey sauce made from honey and Frank’s Red Hot Sauce. This combination creates a flavor explosion that is both comforting and invigorating.

Ingredients:

  • 600g (12) chicken mini fillets
  • 110g cornflakes
  • 1 egg white
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic granules
  • 1 tsp onion granules
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp chilli flakes
  • 1 tsp Italian mixed herbs
  • 120g honey
  • 190ml Frank’s Red Hot Sauce
  • 3 sprays Fry Light Frylight

Directions:

  1. Start by placing your raw chicken mini fillets into a bowl. Optionally, remove the tendons by grabbing the end of the tendon with a piece of kitchen roll and sliding along with a fork to remove.
  2. Sprinkle over 1/4 tsp of salt, 1/4 tsp of pepper, 1/2 tsp of garlic granules, 1/2 tsp of onion granules, 1/2 tsp of smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp of chilli flakes, and 1/2 tsp of Italian mixed herbs. Mix well.
  3. Crack in one egg white and add 10ml of Frank’s Red Hot Sauce. Mix together with the chicken.
  4. In a bag, add the cornflakes and crush into finer pieces, but keep them fairly chunky. Add to a bowl with the same seasoning as the chicken and mix together.
  5. One at a time, coat the chicken strips in the seasoned cornflake mixture, pressing to ensure they stick.
  6. Place the coated pieces in an air fryer (or oven) at 200°C for 12-14 minutes until fully cooked. You may need to cook in batches.
  7. While the chicken is cooking, heat 120g of honey and 180ml of Frank’s Red Hot Sauce in a saucepan until bubbling, then turn off the heat.
  8. Once the chicken is cooked, place each piece in the saucepan separately and toss to coat. Repeat for each strip.
  9. Serve and enjoy!
