For the chicken. This sandwich uses my Crispy Oven-Fried Chicken recipe for the chicken. You’ll want to go to that recipe for the step-by-step photographs. There are a few tips that you’ll want to be sure to follow for the juiciest, crispiest oven-fried chicken. The double dip is essential for the crispiest coating and the pounding of the chicken makes it ultra tender and juicy. For the hot honey. I’ve recently shared my homemade hot honey recipe that I absolutely love. I love to make a batch of hot honey and store it in my pantry so that I can use it for any number of recipes at a moment’s notice. I think you’ll love it, too! If you prefer not to make your own hot honey, you can use storebought such as Mike’s Hot Honey. For the sandwich. Use your favorite hamburger bun and chicken sandwich toppings such as lettuce, tomato, pickles, and mayo if you prefer. We love to keep our hot honey chicken sandwiches simple and just add lettuce.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare the hot honey chicken. Pound the two chicken breasts to 1/2-inch thickness with a rolling pin or meat mallet. Cut the pounded chicken into four equal-sized pieces. Bread the chicken and place it into the prepared skillet. Cook the oven-fried chicken. Remove the skillet from the oven and spoon the hot honey over the cooked chicken, making sure that the chicken is well coated. Return to the oven and broil for 3 to 5 minutes for the hot honey to bake into the chicken crust. Remove from the oven. Assemble the sandwich. Place the hot honey chicken on the bun, add your favorite toppings, and serve with additional hot honey if desired.
Storage Tips
To make ahead. Hot honey can be prepared well in advance and stored in the pantry. The crispy oven-fried chicken is best served when cooked but can be held warm on a wire rack-lined baking sheet in a 225º F oven for up to 20 minutes.
