"Oven fried hot sizzling fire chicken! Marinated in buttermilk, dredged in seasoned crunchy cornflakes, crisped up in the oven, and finally doused in a cayenne and honey sauce concoction..it’s my healthier version of Nashville hot chicken, and it’s BOMB. . I served these fiery beauties with burger buns, mayo, and @thesixfarms salad mix micro-greens! These crunchy, colourful greens really amped up my burgers to the next level and added so much spunk to the meal ? I loved them so much I chopped up the leftover chicken and served it with a massive bowl of these greens for dinner ?"

Recipe Intro From letsgetspooning

We love a good fried chicken sandwich! This sandwich cuts down on the cleanup by baking it in the oven, instead of deep frying. Slathered in a spicy sauce, these sandwiches are the perfect thing for dinner, or as leftovers for the next day!
