Crispy Honey Garlic Chicken
This Crispy Honey Garlic Chicken combines tender, juicy chicken breasts with a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce. The chicken is coated in a flavorful spiced flour mixture, fried until golden and crispy, then tossed in a sticky, garlic-infused sauce, making it an irresistible dish for dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts halved and pounded to an even thickness
- 2 large eggs beaten with 1 tbsp water
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp smoked paprika or regular paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil for frying
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 3 tbsp cold water
Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, minced garlic, and soy sauce. Bring to a boil.
- Mix cornstarch with cold water in a small bowl until smooth. Stir into the saucepan and continue to stir until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
- In a bowl, mix flour, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- In another bowl, beat eggs with water. Dip each chicken piece first into the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly with the flour mixture.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken pieces and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Toss the fried chicken pieces in the honey garlic sauce until well coated. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
For a spicier kick, increase the amount of cayenne pepper or add a dash of hot sauce to the honey garlic sauce.
