- 2 medium (6 oz each) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp hot sauce (Frank's or similar)
- 2 whole soft sandwich rolls or brioche buns
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise

Instructions
- 1
Place chicken breasts between plastic wrap and pound to 0.5-inch thickness using a meat mallet.
- 2
Season chicken generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- 3
Dredge each chicken piece in flour, coating both sides evenly and shaking off excess.

Heat 0.5 inch neutral oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers and a pinch of flour sizzles immediately, about 3–4 minutes.
- 5
Slide chicken into hot oil and fry 4–5 minutes per side without moving until edges are deep golden and internal temp hits 165°F.
- 6
Transfer chicken to a paper towel–lined plate. Stir honey and hot sauce together, then brush over chicken.

Toast buns in the same skillet for 1–2 minutes until lightly golden, then spread mayo on each half.
