Instructions

1 In a small saucepan over low-medium heat add the chili flakes and the honey.
Bring to a simmer (not a boil) and simmer for 5 minutes.
2 Remove from the heat and add in the vinegar.
3 Pour into a clean air tight container of your choice and allow the honey to come
back down to room temperature. If opting to strain out the chili flakes strain
after 10 minutes.
4 Store in an air tight container out of the fridge for approx 2 weeks or in the
fridge for about a month.
5 In a bowl combine grounded cornflakes, panko, chili powder, paprika and 1 tsp of
salt.
6 Salt the chicken with a heavy pinch of salt. Dredge the chopped chicken in egg,
flour, egg again, then the breading.
7 In a pot over medium heat bring 1 1/2 inches of oil to 325 degrees. Once reached
carefully drop the chicken in one by one careful to not over crowd the pan (may
need more than one batch). Cook for 4 min on each side then remove and place on
a cooling rack. *depending on the thickness the chicken might need more or less
time. Always check that the internal temperature is at 165°F
8 Once the chicken cools and you are ready to serve drizzle, toss, or dunk the
chicken in the hot honey. Serve immediately.
