Description
These Hot Honey Chicken Sandwiches are a delicious twist on the classic chicken sandwich, featuring a baked, not fried, chicken breast coated in a flavorful blend of spices and hot honey sauce. Served on a brioche bun with pickles and lettuce, these sandwiches are a perfect combination of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors.
Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts*
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 2 eggs
- avocado oil spray
For Serving:
- Hot honey sauce (recommended: Mike’s Hot Honey Sauce)
- pickles
- Lettuce
- 8 brioche buns
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees**. Cut your chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create thin cutlets.
- In a shallow bowl, mix together flour, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and crushed red pepper.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs.
- Pat dry the chicken cutlets, season with salt and pepper, then coat each cutlet in flour, dip in egg, and coat with flour again. Place on a wire rack on a baking sheet.
- Spray the chicken with avocado oil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Brush each side of the cooked chicken with hot honey sauce, then assemble the sandwiches with pickles, lettuce, and more hot honey sauce.
Notes
- To save time: You can buy pre-cut chicken cutlets instead of slicing regular chicken breasts.
- Air Fryer Instructions: Preheat to 425°F and air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping midway through. Times may vary.
- Nutritional Note: Values are based on 2 tbsp of hot honey sauce per sandwich and may vary.
