Ingredients

Crispy chicken:

  • 1 kg boneless chicken cut into long strips (chicken tenders or chicken breast)
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 4 cups crushed cornflakes
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray

Hot honey:

  • 1 cup honey
  • 4 – 6 dried red chilies

To serve: (optional)

Instructions

  • Place chicken in a large bowl. Pour in buttermilk. Make sure chicken pieces are fully immersed in buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour (or 6 hours if possible)
  • Preheat oven to 220 C / 425 F. Line two baking trays with baking paper. Set aside.
  • Place crushed cornflakes, paprika, oregano and garlic powder in a large shallow dish. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove chicken from buttermilk and dredge each
    piece in cornflake crumbs.
  • Arrange crumbed chicken on the baking trays in a single layer. Spray lightly with cooking spray.
  • Transfer to preheated oven and bake for 15 – 20 minutes or until the chicken pieces are cooked through.
  • To make hot honey, place honey and dried chilies in a saucepan over low heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes to 1 hour allowing the chilies infuse into honey. Remove from heat. Strain and discard the chilies. Set aside.
  • Drizzle crispy chicken with hot honey just before serving. Pair with your favorite side for lunch or dinner.
