Instructions

Preheat oven to 450F.

Place a skillet over medium heat.

Cut your chicken breasts through the middle to create 4 thinner chicken filets. Season each chicken filet with 1/2 teaspoon bbq seasoning, salt and pepper. Set aside.

In a shallow dish, combine flour with remaining bbq seasoning.

Dredge the chicken filets in the seasoned flour mixture until completely coated.

Place the oil in the preheated skillet and once oil is hot, add the chicken filets.

Brown the chicken on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Place skillet in the oven to finish cooking, about 8-10 minutes until an inserted meat thermometer reads 165F.

Immediately after the chicken is removed from the oven, drizzle with the hot honey.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pound Chicken Evenly 🔨
Pound chicken breasts to uniform ¾-inch thickness to ensure even cooking and prevent dry edges while centers remain tender.
Double-Dredge for Crunch 🥖
Dip floured tenders in a beaten egg wash, then coat again in the seasoned flour mixture for an extra-crispy, golden exterior without deep frying.
Infuse Hot Honey with Heat 🌶️
Warm your honey with the hot seasoning for 2-3 minutes before drizzling to activate flavors and ensure the spice coats evenly throughout.
Pan-Sear at the Right Temperature 🍳
Heat oil until shimmering (around 350°F) and sear tenders 4-5 minutes per side without moving them to develop a golden crust that mimics fried texture.
Rest Before Drizzling 😋
Let cooked tenders rest for 2-3 minutes before applying hot honey—this allows the coating to set while the chicken retains internal moisture for maximum juiciness.
