Instructions
1- Prepare the Chicken:
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure even cooking.
In a small bowl, mix vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, Tropical Sazon, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture onto the chicken breasts for flavor and tenderness.
2- Coat the Chicken:
Place flour in one shallow dish.
Beat eggs with a few dashes of hot sauce in another dish.
Place bread crumbs in a third dish.
Dredge each chicken breast first in flour, then in the egg mixture, and finally coat thoroughly with bread crumbs.
3- Fry the Chicken:
Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Wait until the oil is hot before adding chicken.
Fry the coated chicken breasts for about 5 minutes on each side or until they are golden and cooked through. Remove and let them rest on a paper towel-lined plate.
4- Prepare the Sauce:
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Stir in hot sauce, ketchup, hot honey, garlic paste, and paprika. Mix until well combined and heated through.
5- Assemble the Dish:
Generously coat the fried chicken breasts with the prepared sauce.
In a bowl, combine lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and red onion for the salad.
Serve the sauce-covered chicken over the salad for a refreshing contrast.
