Hot honey is surging in popularity and in today’s cooking corner, our friend Heather Berryhill shows us how to do a delicious chicken panko dish featuring the spicy topper.

Hi, Heather Berryhill here. Welcome back to my home kitchen.

Okay, let me tell you a story real quick.

Why You’ll Love This

I was at a local Tulsa restaurant with a couple of my employees.

They ordered a meal that was so delicious that I just had to figure out how to replicate it.

I think I’ve done it.

I’ve now made this twice for my family.

It is delicious.

It is hot honey panko chicken bowls.

You are going to love this one.

It is going to change your dinner game.

So let’s get in the kitchen and get cooking.

Ingredients

Chicken thighs
Buttermilk
Montreal steak seasoning
Cayenne pepper
Flour
Panko breadcrumbs
Egg wash
Beef tallow
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup jasmine or basmati rice
Hot honey
Cucumbers
Pickled red onion
Feta cheese
Baby chives

Instructions

You’re going to cut these pieces into just, you know, bite-sized pieces, not too big, not too small.
Do all your chicken thighs.
Get that oil hot.
Let it boil, then turn down the heat and let it just do its thing.
Drizzle that right on over.

Cooking Tips

I think the secret to these is using beef tallow.
It’s not as greasy.
It’s healthier because it’s not a seed oil.
I absolutely love this stuff.
I have my oven on convection mode.
You don’t have to do this, but I think it helps with a little bit of even cooking.
The secret is to drizzle them with hot honey right when they come out.
While these are hot, you want it to kind of soak down into the chicken.

Serving Suggestions

Take a little bit of that basmati rice, put that right on the bottom of the bowl.
Now we’re going to take a couple of these hot honey chicken pieces, layer those right in.
Put some cucumbers, right on down.
Sprinkle over just a little bit of feta cheese.
Add a few little baby chives that I just picked from my garden.
To top it all off, just another little drizzle of hot honey right over the top.

So there you have it, hot honey pancakes.
