Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Slice chicken breasts into even cutlets and soak them in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and place a wire rack over a baking sheet, lightly greasing it.
  3. Set up three bowls: one with flour, paprika, and garlic powder; another with beaten eggs; and the third with panko breadcrumbs.
  4. Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, dip it in the egg, and then coat it with panko.
  5. Place the coated chicken on the wire rack and brush melted butter over each piece.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. While the chicken bakes, combine honey, hot sauce, and vinegar in a saucepan over low heat until blended.
  8. Drizzle the hot honey sauce over the baked chicken and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
  9. Serve your Baked Crunchy Hot Honey Chicken hot with your favorite sides.
