Hot Honey Chicken Garlic Bread
Servings: 8 slices
Ingredients
Garlic bread and topping
- 1 loaf French bread split lengthwise
- 2 sticks butter softened
- 3 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 1 head roasted garlic
- All-purpose seasoning to taste
- Buttery garlic pepper seasoning to taste
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese for garnish
Chicken
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast pounded thin and even
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs beaten
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- All-purpose seasoning to taste
- Frying oil as needed
Hot honey
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup honey
- ¼ cup hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon chile powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix the softened butter with parsley, roasted garlic, all-purpose seasoning and buttery garlic pepper seasoning. Spread it over the cut sides of the French bread. Bake until the butter melts and the bread starts to crisp.
- Season the pounded chicken. Dredge each piece in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat in panko.
- Heat frying oil to 350°F. Fry the chicken until golden and cooked through, reaching 165°F in the thickest part. Drain briefly, then chop into bite-size pieces.
- Warm the butter, honey, hot sauce, chili flakes and chile powder together, stirring until combined. Strain if you want a smoother hot honey.
- Top the pre-baked garlic bread with mozzarella and chopped chicken. Return to the 400°F oven until the cheese melts. Drizzle with hot honey, garnish with freshly grated Parmesan and parsley, then slice and serve.
