Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200C/400f (fan) and line a large baking sheet with baking parchment

Step 2

Slice the chicken breasts in half, horizontally, to create 8 thin/flat chicken steaks

Step 3

Add the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika and thyme to a shallow bowl and mix together.

Step 4

Add the eggs to a second bowl.

Step 5

Add the crunched cornflakes to a third bowl.

Step 6

Drizzle the oil over the cornflakes and stir together until the oil is absorbed.

Step 7

Dredge the chicken breast pieces through the flour mixture, then the eggs, then the cornflake mixture. Ensure the chicken breasts are completely coated with the flour, eggs and cornflakes.

Step 8

Place the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 9

Place in the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and golden.

Step 10

While the chicken is in the oven, make the sauce.

Step 11

Place all of the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan, and heat over a medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter melts. Turn off the heat.

Step 12

When the chicken is ready, remove from the oven and divide between plates. Drizzle with a little of the hot honey sauce, and serve with the remaining hot honey sauce. I like to finish with a sprinkle of Maldon salt and serve with some pickles too.
