Ingredients
For the chicken:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons pepper
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground thyme
1 teaspoon ground sage
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 eggs
4 tablespoons water
1/4 cup canola oil, for cooking chicken
For the honey garlic sauce:
2 tablespoons olive oil
3-4 cloves minced garlic
1 cup honey
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Directions
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of wax paper and pound with a meat mallet to an even 1/2 inch thickness. In a medium shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, pepper, ginger, nutmeg, thyme, sage and cayenne pepper. In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and water. In a medium bowl, combine the ingredients for the sauce and mix well. Set aside.
Preheat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Dip the chicken into the flour mixture, then the egg wash. Return the chicken to the flour mixture and coat again, pressing on the flour to coat well. Place the chicken in the hot oil and fry for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Dip the cooked chicken into the honey garlic sauce and serve.
Let's Dish
This chicken was absolutely amazing! Usually, I don't find coated, fried chicken recipes worth the hassle and mess, but this was 100% worth it. And actually, it wasn't much of a hassle at all. The coating is thick and crunchy, and the honey garlic sauce adds a terrific sweet and sour flavor. The key is pounding the chicken breasts to an even 1/2 inch thickness, which ensures they will cook through in the short amount of frying time. Needless to say, this chicken was a huge hit with my family and will definitely be going into the regular rotation.

ReplyDeleteYum - we might have to try this!
ReplyDeleteAnother yummy recipe to put on the menu. Would chicken tenders work? Would I need to pound them? They are pretty thin. Just wondering. Have a great day.
