A flavorful Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich featuring crispy baked chicken breasts coated in panko breadcrumbs and drizzled with sweet and spicy hot honey, served on toasted burger buns with a tangy lemon mayo spread.

Ingredients

Chicken and Breading

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Sauce

  • ½ cup hot honey
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Assembly

  • 4 burger buns

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the chicken.
  2. Season Chicken: Season the boneless chicken breasts evenly with salt and pepper on both sides to enhance flavor.
  3. Prepare Breading Stations: Set up three shallow bowls—one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs for a classic breading process.
  4. Bread the Chicken: Coat each chicken breast first in the flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally press into the panko breadcrumbs to ensure an even crispy crust.
  5. Bake Chicken: Place the breaded chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  6. Make Sauce: While the chicken bakes, combine mayonnaise and fresh lemon juice in a bowl. Stir well and season to taste, adjusting lemon juice or salt as needed.
  7. Assemble Sandwiches: Spread the lemon mayo sauce generously on the burger buns. Place the baked chicken breasts on the buns and drizzle generously with hot honey. Add any preferred toppings such as lettuce or pickles if desired.
  8. Serve: Serve the hot honey chicken sandwiches immediately while warm and enjoy the perfect balance of spicy, sweet, and tangy flavors.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, lightly toast the burger buns before assembling.
  • You can substitute hot honey with a mix of honey and cayenne pepper if hot honey is unavailable.
  • Make sure to use a meat thermometer to check that chicken is fully cooked at 165°F (75°C) for food safety.
  • Customize toppings with sliced pickles, lettuce, or slaw for added texture and freshness.
  • Use mayonnaise alternatives like Greek yogurt for a lighter sauce option.
