Once you’ve enjoyed piping hot, crispy-coated chicken straight from your home oven, you won’t want to pick up another takeout bucket. A flavour-packed crust made with panko and a peppery blend of herbs coats the poultry, which turns wonderfully golden and crunchy under high heat. Roasted broccoli and cabbage get dressed in lemon-garlic vinaigrette, and then tossed in with nutty bulgur for a next-level, crowd-pleasing side. Spiced honey butter is the final drizzle.

Preparation
Prepare & roast the chicken
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel; season with ⅓ of the spices and S&P. In a large bowl, combine the panko with S&P. In a second large bowl, whisk 1 egg (double for 4 portions) with S&P. One piece at a time, coat the chicken* in the egg (letting the excess drip off), then in the panko (pressing to adhere). Transfer to a lined sheet pan and roast, without flipping, 15 to 18 min., until cooked through. Switch the oven to broil, 2 to 3 min., until nicely browned.
Roast the broccoli
Separate the broccoli stem from the head; cut the head into small florets. On a second lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ½ the remaining spices and S&P. Arrange in a single layer and roast, flipping halfway, 14 to 18 min., until tender.
Cook the bulgur
In a medium pot, combine the bulgur, 1 ⅓ cups water (double for 4 portions) and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 6 to 8 min., until the bulgur is tender and the water has been absorbed. Fluff and transfer to a large bowl to cool; season with S&P. Wipe out and reserve the pot.
Mise en place
Remove the root ends of the scallions; thinly slice, separating the white bottoms and green tops.
Make the spiced honey butter
In the reserved pot, melt 4 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) on medium. Add ½ the honey and cook, stirring constantly, 30 sec. to 1 min., until combined; season with the remaining spices and S&P.
Make the salad & serve
To the bowl of bulgur, add the broccoli, cabbage, white bottoms of the scallions, remaining honey and the vinaigrette; season with S&P and toss well. Divide the salad and chicken between your plates. Drizzle the spiced honey butter over the chicken. Garnish with the green tops of the scallions. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
