– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
Creating the perfect Crispy Hot Honey Feta Chicken is easy when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure they get crispy.
3. Set Up Breading Station: In a shallow dish, mix the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. In another dish, beat the eggs. Place the breadcrumbs in a third dish.
4. Bread Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the breaded chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking.
6. Bake Chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).
7. Add Feta: In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the chicken, allowing it to melt slightly.
8. Drizzle Hot Honey: Remove the chicken from the oven and drizzle hot honey generously over each piece.
9. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
10. Serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
