Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil sprayed with nonstick spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine honey and water. Remove 1/4 of the honey mix and reserve. In a separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients with the exception of chicken and green onion.
- Drop chicken pieces into honey. Honey should coat all sides of the chicken. Next, coat the chicken pieces in spice and panko mix. Coat evenly and place on a prepared baking sheet.
