Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup hot sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • 1 cup coleslaw mix
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • Dill pickles for serving
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Coat each chicken breast in the flour mixture and shake off any excess.
  3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of oil. Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. In a small saucepan, combine the hot sauce, honey, and butter. Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted and the sauce is smooth.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, apple cider vinegar, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper.
  6. To assemble the sandwich, place a chicken breast on the bottom half of each hamburger bun. Drizzle the hot honey sauce over the chicken and top with coleslaw and pickles. Cover with the top half of the bun.
  7. Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra tender chicken, consider marinating the chicken in buttermilk for a few hours before cooking. You can also adjust the amount of hot sauce in the honey sauce to your liking. Don’t forget to butter and toast the buns before assembling the sandwich to give it a nice crunch. Serve with a side of fries or a salad to make it a complete meal. Enjoy!
