Honey-Nut Chicken

By Addie

“Grandma created a crunchy-sweet coating with honey and almonds to turn everyday chicken into something really special. ”

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup honey, divided
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 cup finely ground almonds
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 4 ounces each)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
• 1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the flour and salt in a shallow bowl. Place 1/4 cup honey and the egg in a separate shallow bowl. Stir until combined. Combine the almonds and bread crumbs in a third shallow bowl. Cut large chicken thighs in half, if necessary. Place the chicken in the flour mixture, turning to coat. Place the chicken in the honey mixture.


Coat the chicken with the almond mixture. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken. Cook, in batches if necessary, until golden and cooked through, 4–5 minutes on each side. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Keep warm.


Combine the remaining honey, the butter and mustard in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until heated through, about 4 minutes. Drizzle the sauce over the chicken. Serve immediately.
