Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a small saucepan, combine the honey, hot sauce, and chili flakes. Warm gently over low heat for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  2. Carefully slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create four even pieces.
  3. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the paprika, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, cayenne, and black pepper.
  4. Arrange three shallow dishes: one with flour mixed with half of the spice blend, a second with the beaten eggs, and a third with Panko mixed with the remaining seasonings.
  5. Dredge each chicken piece in the flour, dip it into the beaten eggs, then press it into the Panko mixture.
  6. Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the coated chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  7. Transfer the chicken to a wire rack to allow excess oil to drain.
  8. Top each chicken piece with crumbled feta cheese and place them under the grill on high for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is warm and slightly soft.
  9. Drizzle the warm hot honey generously over the chicken right before serving.
