Ingredients

Scale

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup hot honey
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp Sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper in a large bowl.
Set up a breading station: one bowl with flour and garlic powder, another with panko breadcrumbs. Dredge each thigh in flour, then coat with panko.
Arrange breaded chicken on the baking sheet, spacing them out for even cooking.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crispy (internal temp should reach at least 165°F/74°C).
Drizzle hot honey over the chicken before serving.
