Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper and a wire rack.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cleaned chicken with 2 tablespoons of hot honey and the spices; mix thoroughly and let marinate for 5-10 minutes.
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and coat each piece in flour.
In a separate bowl, mix together the crushed cornflakes, breadcrumbs, and remaining spices.
Whisk the eggs and almond milk until smooth; dip each flour-coated piece of chicken in the egg mixture, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
Arrange the coated chicken pieces on the baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden and crispy.
While the chicken bakes, melt the butter in a skillet and add the sauce ingredients; stir until combined.
Once the chicken is done, spoon the spicy honey glaze generously over each piece and serve hot.

Notes

Use skin-on chicken for a crispier texture. Adjust the cayenne pepper for more or less heat.
