🥘Ingredients

For the Chicken

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk

For the Hot Wing Sauce

1/2 cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top, then lightly spray the rack with cooking spray.
3In a shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
4In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.
5Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
6Dip each breast into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently so the crumbs adhere.
7Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared wire rack.
8Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
9While the chicken bakes, prepare the hot wing sauce.
10In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the hot sauce, melted butter, honey, and Worcestershire sauce.
11Whisk until smooth and heated through, about 2 to 3 minutes.
12Remove the baked chicken from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.
13Using tongs, transfer the chicken to a large bowl, pour the hot wing sauce over it, and toss gently until each piece is evenly coated.
Serve immediately.
