Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
In a shallow dish, whisk together flour, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
In another shallow dish, whisk together eggs and milk.
In a third shallow dish, place the panko breadcrumbs.
Dredge each chicken breast first in the flour mixture, then in the egg mixture, and finally in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing to coat evenly.
Place coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
While the chicken is baking, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in hot honey and apple cider vinegar. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Once chicken is baked, brush the hot honey glaze generously over each piece.
Return chicken to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize.
Serve immediately.

For extra crispiness, you can spray the panko-coated chicken with cooking spray before baking.
Adjust the amount of hot honey to your preference for spice level.
This chicken pairs well with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
