Hot Honey Mustard Chicken

Hot honey mustard chicken is coated in crunchy corn flakes, and drizzled with the tastiest hot honey mustard sauce! It’s easy and delicious, and will be a new favorite!

Hot honey mustard chicken needs to be on your menu for dinner soon! Everyone will love it. Chicken breast is juicy and tender, breaded with a crunchy corn flake coating and drizzled with the tastiest sauce you will ever have!

The hot honey mustard is a sauce you whip up, using a mixture of spices and simple ingredients.

If you aren’t a fan of spicy and hot, don’t let the word “hot” steer you away from this recipe. The only “hot” ingredients used in this sauce is cayenne pepper, which really isn’t that hot after all.

I decided, after trying this recipe and falling in love with the flavor and texture, that cornflakes are going to be my new breading of choice when it comes to chicken. It gives the best crunch and texture! Not to mention, I think the cornflake coating helps hold the juices in, creating juicy chicken!

Look at that…pure perfection! We didn’t even need knives to cut into the chicken. That’s saying something…

I have another recipe on my blog thats similar to this one https://thehungrylyoness.com/oven-fried-hot-honey-chicken/

Although they seem very similar, they are very different when it comes to flavor and texture!

If you make this recipe, I hope you enjoy it!
