Preheat the oven to 200C/400F (fan) and line a large baking sheet with baking parchment.

Slice the chicken breasts in half, horizontally, to create 8 thin/flat chicken steaks.

Add the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and thyme to a shallow bowl and mix together.

Add the eggs to a second bowl.

Add the crunched cornflakes to a third bowl.

Drizzle the oil over the cornflakes and stir together until the oil is absorbed.

Dredge the chicken breast pieces through the flour mixture, then the eggs, then the cornflake mixture. Ensure the chicken breasts are completely coated with the flour, eggs, and cornflakes. Place the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Place in the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and golden.

While the chicken is in the oven, make the sauce by placing all of the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan, and heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter melts. Turn off the heat.

When the chicken is ready, remove from the oven and divide between plates. Drizzle with a little of the hot honey sauce, and serve with the remaining hot honey sauce. Finish with a sprinkle of Maldon salt and serve with some pickles too.
