Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).

Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and lightly grease it.

In a shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper; mix well.

In another bowl, beat the eggs.

In a third bowl, place the bread crumbs.

Take a chicken breast and coat it evenly with the seasoned flour mixture.

Dip it into the beaten eggs.

Roll it in the breadcrumbs, ensuring a thick, even coating.

Place the coated chicken on the wire rack on the baking sheet and repeat this process for all the chicken breasts.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and has a beautiful golden brown color.

While the chicken is baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat.

Stir in the honey, hot sauce, and apple cider vinegar; simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.

Once the chicken is cooked, take it out of the oven and brush the hot honey glaze generously over each chicken breast.

Sprinkle fresh chopped cilantro and sliced green onions on top for garnish.
