. Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Make the Crunchy Coating:

• In a food processor, combine cornflakes, Parmesan, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.
• Pulse until fine crumbs form.
• Alternatively, place the ingredients in a ziplock bag and crush using a rolling pin or by stepping on it.
• Pour the crumbs into a shallow bowl.

3. Coat the Chicken:

• In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the hot sauce.
• Add the chicken tenderloins and toss to coat evenly.
• Dredge each piece of chicken through the cornflake mixture, ensuring full coverage.
• For a thicker crust, dip the chicken back into the egg mixture, then coat with crumbs a second time.
• Place on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle lightly with olive oil.

4. Bake the Chicken:

• Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.

5. Make the Hot Honey Sauce:

• While the chicken bakes, warm a small saucepan over low heat.
• Add honey, hot sauce, cayenne pepper, chipotle chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.
• Stir until well combined and heated through.

6. Finish and Serve:

• Drizzle the warm hot honey over the baked chicken.
• Garnish with fresh thyme, cilantro, or parsley.
• If the honey thickens, warm it for 5 seconds in the microwave before drizzling.
