Crispy Honey Garlic Chicken

 

INSTRUCTIONS:

  • PREPARE THE CHICKEN:
      • In a shallow dish, mix together the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper.
      • Place the beaten eggs in another shallow dish, and the panko breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish. Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
      • Dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, then coat it evenly with the panko breadcrumbs. Press gently to adhere.


    • FRY THE CHICKEN:

    • In a large skillet or frying pan, heat enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pan over medium-high heat.
    • Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken pieces in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
    • Transfer the fried chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Repeat until all the chicken pieces are cooked.
    • MAKE THE HONEY GARLIC SAUCE:
      • In a small saucepan, combine the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
      • In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth to create a slurry. Add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan with the other ingredients.
      • Cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and becomes glossy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
    • COAT THE CHICKEN IN SAUCE:
    • Once the chicken is cooked and drained, transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
    • Pour the honey garlic sauce over the crispy chicken and toss until all the pieces are evenly coated.
    • SERVE AND ENJOY:
      • Garnish the crispy honey garlic chicken with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
      • Serve immediately with steamed rice or your favorite side dishes, and enjoy the irresistible combination of crispy chicken and sweet garlic sauce.
