Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Add the cornflakes, parmesan, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder to a food processor. Cover and pulse until the cornflakes before small crumbs. (You can all use a large food storage bag and a rolling pin to crush the cereal.)
Place the cornflake mixture into a shallow bowl. In a second shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, 3 tablespoons hot sauce, and milk.
Dip on chicken breast into the milk mixture, coating it on all sides, and allow any excess to drip back into the bowl. Then dip the chicken into the cornflakes so that it is coated on all sides.
Place the chicken onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the chicken. Drizzle some olive oil over the chicken breasts.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (165 degrees F internal temp). The breading should be golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before plating.
While the chicken cools, add the honey and 1 ½ tablespoons of hot sauce to a small pan. Heat on medium-low for 2-3 minutes, stirring to combine.
Drizzle the hot honey over the chicken and sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish, if desired. Serve warm with your favorite sides.

I made my own hot honey for this recipe, but you can use pre-made hot honey (like Mike's) at the store. I like that I can control the amount of heat with this homemade version.
Nutritional information is for 1 chicken breast with 2 tablespoons of hot honey.
