Description

Crispy honey garlic chicken is made with a double-battered seasoned mix, pan-fried then drizzled with an addictive honey garlic sauce.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon water

SAUCE

  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Wrap the chicken breasts in plastic wrap and pound into 1/2″ thickness with a meat mallet.
  2. Combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt and pepper to taste, thyme, sage, paprika and cayenne and stir to mix.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine egg and water for the egg wash.
  4. Dredge the chicken with the flour mixture. Follow with a dip in the egg wash and finish with a final dredge of the flour mixture and coat thoroughly.
  5. In a skillet over medium heat, pan-fry the chicken in some oil (see note) until the crust is golden brown, about 3-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  6. In a separate pan over medium-high heat, saute garlic and ginger until fragrant.
  7. Add honey and soy sauce and bring to a simmer, about 2 minutes.
  8. Dish the chicken and serve it hot drizzled with the honey garlic sauce.
  9. Enjoy!
