Ingredients:

8 chicken breasts
940g
12 tsp pepper sauce
54g
1/2 cup dried milk
120g
1 cup whole-grain wheat flour
120g
1 tsp red pepper (spice)
1.80g
2 tsp salt
12g
1/2 tsp black pepper
1.05g
1/2 tbsp garlic powder
4.85g
1/2 tbsp paprika
3.45g
1 egg
54g
1/2 cup milk (2% fat)
120g
12 tsp pepper sauce
54g
1 tbsp butter
14g
1 tbsp vegetable oil
14g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken:
- Rinse the 8 chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Place the chicken breasts in a large bowl. Add 12 tsp (54g) of pepper sauce and mix until all breasts are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes for better flavor.
3. Set Up Breading Station:
- In a shallow bowl, mix together the whole-grain wheat flour, dried milk, red pepper, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- In another bowl, whisk together the egg and ½ cup of milk (2% fat).
4. Bread the Chicken:
- First, dip each marinated chicken breast into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Next, dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully covered. Shake off any extra flour.
5. Prepare the Cooking Pan:
- Heat the butter and vegetable oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
6. Cook the Chicken:
- Once the butter has melted and the skillet is hot, add the breaded chicken breasts. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and juices run clear.
7. Prepare Pepper Sauce:
- While the chicken is baking, prepare the additional pepper sauce. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 12 tsp (54g) of pepper sauce with a tablespoon of melted butter. Mix thoroughly.
8. Serve:
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Drizzle the prepared pepper sauce over the chicken breasts before serving.

Tips:

- Make sure to evenly coat the chicken breasts with the spice mix to ensure maximum flavor in every bite.

- For an extra crispy texture, you can double-coat the chicken by dipping it back in the egg and flour mixture before frying.

- Serve the chicken breasts with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.

- When cooking the chicken, ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) to ensure it is fully cooked.

- If you prefer a milder taste, you can reduce the amount of red pepper in the recipe.

There you have it, spooky chicken breasts with pepper sauce and whole-grain wheat flour that will impress your family and friends with both its unique flavor and nutritional balance. The use of whole-grain wheat flour and a variety of spices ensures a tasty, healthier meal packed with protein and essential nutrients. Enjoy your delicious creation!
