Honey Garlic Chicken

By LisaRHadley

Ingredients

• Chicken Breading:
• 2 cup flour
• 4 tsp salt
• 4 tsp black pepper
• 3 tbsp ground ginger
• 2 tbsp ground nutmeg
• 2 tsp ground thyme
• 2 tsp ground sage
• 2 tbsp paprika
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper
• Honey Garlic Sauce
• In a medium saucepan add
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 – 4 cloves minced garlic
• Cook over medium heat to soften the garlic but do not let it brown. Add:
• 1 cup honey
• 1/4 cup soya sauce (low sodium soya sauce is best)
• 1 tsp ground black pepper
• Simmer 5-10 minutes

Preparation

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and using a meat mallet, pound the meat to an even 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into bite size pieces

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dip the meat in the flour and spice mixture. Dip the breast into the eggwash and then a final time into the flour and spice mix, pressing the mix into the meat to get good contact.

Heat a skillet on the stove with about a half inch of canola oil covering the bottom. You will want to carefully regulate the temperature here so that the chicken does not brown too quickly. The thinness of the breast meat practically guarantees that it will be fully cooked by the time the outside is browned. I find just below medium heat works well. I use a burner setting of about 4 1/2 out of 10 on the dial and fry them gently for about 4 or 5 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
