In another bowl, whisk together 2 eggs and 2 tablespoons of Sriracha.

Coat each piece of thin sliced chicken breast in the egg mixture, then in the cornflake mixture. Repeat for a double coat.

Drizzle the coated chicken with olive oil and place on a parchment-lined baking pan.

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

While the chicken is baking, prepare the hot honey sauce by heating 1/2 cup of honey in a pan on low heat.

Add 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 1 teaspoon chili powder to the honey and stir.

Add 1 to 3 teaspoons of hot sauce to the honey mixture, adjusting to taste.

After 25 minutes, remove the chicken from the oven and drizzle the hot honey sauce over the top.
