- 1 cup Panko
- 1/3 cup honey (or more, to taste)

How to cook our Baked Honey Garlic Chicken recipe, method:
- Pick up a fresh and juicy chicken from Pendle Hill Meat Market — Come on down and get your hands on our fresh Australian chicken breast, or get it delivered for added convenience.
- Get the oven ready - Preheat your oven to 200C
- Season your chicken - Start by generously seasoning your fresh chicken breast with salt and pepper to suit your taste. Then, take each piece and dip them into the beaten eggs, using the handy tip of designating one hand for wet dipping and the other for dry dipping. Using your dry hand coat each piece of chicken breast with the Panko crumb.
- Cooking time - Bake the crumbed chicken breast in the oven until golden and crips. This should take approximately 20 minutes.
- Make it saucy - Heat up a pan over medium-high heat and add the garlic, honey, soy sauce, and if you're up for some spicy excitement, a dash of Sriracha. In a separate bowl, whisk together ⅓ cup of water and cornstarch until smooth, then pour into the pan, stirring it into the sauce until it thickens to perfection.
- Combine and serve - Add the golden and crispy chicken to the sauce mixture and combine by gently tossing. Serve with boiled rice and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
