Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
- Heat the butter and vegetable oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Drizzle the prepared pepper sauce over the chicken breasts before serving.

Chicken breasts with pepper sauce FAQ:
Bake the chicken breasts in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
If the chicken breasts are not golden brown after cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side, ensure the skillet is hot enough before adding the chicken. You can adjust the heat slightly higher, but be careful not to burn the flour coating.
Yes, you can substitute whole-grain wheat flour with all-purpose flour or a gluten-free flour blend, but the texture and flavor may vary slightly.
Store leftover chicken breasts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.
You can substitute dried milk with an equivalent amount of fresh milk, but this may alter the consistency of the breading. Alternatively, you can use non-dairy milk powder if a dairy-free option is needed.
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.
