Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Start by halving large chicken breasts for even cooking. Season them generously with adobo seasoning and chili powder, letting them marinate for about 10 minutes.
  2. In one bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and Italian seasoning. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, hot sauce, and buttermilk. Leave a third bowl ready with plain flour.
  3. Dredge marinated chicken in flour, coat in egg mixture, then roll in seasoned panko.
  4. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line baking sheet with parchment paper. Bake chicken for 20 minutes until golden brown.
  5. While the chicken is baking, prepare the hot honey sauce by combining honey, cayenne pepper, chili powder, and hot sauce in a small saucepan and heat until blended.
  6. Once chicken is baked, brush with the warm hot honey sauce and serve immediately.
