Ingredients
- BREADING FOR CHICKEN:
- 2 cup flour
- 4 teaspoon salt
- 4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 Tablespoons ground ginger
- 2 Tablespoons ground nutmeg
- 2 teaspoon ground thyme
- 2 teaspoon ground sage
- 2 Tablespoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ............................
- HONEY GARLIC SAUCE:
- In a medium saucepan add:
- 2 Tablspoons 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 soy sauce (low sodium soy 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.
Toss in Honey Garlic Sauce. Enjoy!
