Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup hot honey (store-bought or homemade)

2 tbsp olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.

      Set Up Breading Station:

        - In a shallow bowl, place the flour.

          - In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.

            - In a third bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with crumbled feta cheese.

              Bread the Chicken:

                - Dredge each chicken thigh in the flour, shaking off the excess.

                  - Dip into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.

                    - Finally, coat with the panko-feta mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

                      Cook the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken thighs. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

                        Add Hot Honey: Once both sides are crispy and golden, drizzle hot honey over the chicken thighs.

                          Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

                            Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle fresh parsley over the top, and serve immediately with extra hot honey on the side.
