Ingredients

  • 300g chicken breast fillets
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 30g plain flour
  • 1 medium egg
  • 50g panko breadcrumbs
  • 5 tablespoon sriracha sauce
  • 3 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to gas mark 7/425oF/220oC/200oC fan then line a tray with parchment paper and set aside. Use some kitchen towels to pat the chicken breasts until dry then cut them into chunks and add them to a bowl. Sprinkle on the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, ground ginger and cayenne pepper. Mix the seasonings into the chicken then set aside. 
  • Gather together 4 bowls. To one add the plain flour, to another add and whisk the egg. To another, add the panko breadcrumbs and to the last one, add and combine the sriracha, honey and vegetable oil.
  • Take a piece of chicken, dip it into the flour and fully coat. Dust off any excess and dip into the egg. Drain off any excess egg and dip into the breadcrumbs ensuring the chicken is fully coated then lightly dip the chicken into the sauce. When dipping into the sauce, don’t fully submerge the chicken pieces just lightly dip turn and lightly dip on the other side. Place the chicken on the baking tray lined with parchment paper then repeat the process with the rest of the chicken pieces. Ensure you leave some space between the chicken pieces.
  • Once all the chicken pieces are coated, bake in the oven for 20 - 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to stand for 5 minutes before serving.
