Why this recipe is great

• Addictive flavor - The hot honey sauce is sweet, spicy, and smoky. It's killer good!
• Tender and juicy - We marinate the chicken in buttermilk to keep it tender and moist.
• Crispy crust - The outside gets deliciously golden brown, and crispy plus it doesn't fall off.
• Everyone loves it - The chef's favorite recipes are the ones everyone is excited to eat. This is one of those recipes.
• Versatile- equally as good for a weeknight dinner as it is for serving to a crowd! It's a staple on our collection of Game Day Recipes.

Whoa, these things are delish, better than any spicy chicken sandwich I've ever eaten out!

Ingredients for hot honey chicken sandwiches

• Chicken: Boneless skinless chicken breasts.
• Buttermilk: To tenderize, moisten, and add flavor.
• Flour: Just all-purpose flour.
• Panko breadcrumbs: Adds extra crispy, crunchy textures.
• Baking powder: Helps the coating get extra crispy.
• Seasonings: Garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
• Oil: I prefer canola or vegetable oil for frying chicken. Olive oil is not a good choice.
• Hot honey sauce: Just honey, butter, and seasonings. This adds more dynamic flavor than just hot sauce.
• Hamburger buns: I recommend splurging on a good brioche bun. If you don't have brioche buns, a good potato bun is also good.
• Toppings (optional): Shredded lettuce and ranch dressing are great, or toss some coleslaw in this creamy dressing. So good!
