Ingredients

Olive oil nonstick cooking spray

2 large eggs, beaten

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon hot sauce

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs

2 teaspoons salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1 (3-pound) chicken cut into 8 pieces, skin removed

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Fit a sheet tray with a wire rack and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a pie plate or shallow bowl, whisk the eggs, mustard, honey, hot sauce, and salt and pepper, to taste, together until thoroughly combined.
  3. Add the panko, salt and pepper, to taste, the paprika, cayenne, and garlic powder to another pie plate and whisk to combine.
  4. Dredge the chicken through the wet mixture, then the dry mixture, patting the breading on so it adheres. Arrange on a wire rack lined sheet tray, making sure there is ample space between each piece of chicken. Give the chicken a spritz of the olive cooking spray. This will help brown and crisp up the coating.
  5. Put on the upper rack of the oven and bake until the chicken is golden and crisp. The temperature should register 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer in the thickest part of the chicken, about 45 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.

A favorite !! I tweaked this by replacing the hot sauce with pepper & cayenne because the wet mixture was too thin. Added more honey and chilled the wet mixture a bit so its thicker. I increased the salt, garlic powder and needed much more panko crumbs as well.
