Ingredients
  

Chicken and Coating

  • 4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups flour
  • 4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon freshly ground nutmeg
  • 2 teaspoon ground thyme
  • 2 teaspoon ground sage
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoon paprika
  • 4 large eggs
  • 8 tablespoon water
  • Canola oil for frying Amount as needed

Honey Garlic Sauce

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3-4 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 cup honey
  • ¼ cup soy sauce Low sodium soy sauce is preferred
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Place the chicken breasts between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even ½ inch thickness or slice them in half horizontally.
  • Sift together the flour, salt, black pepper, ground ginger, nutmeg, thyme, sage, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a bowl. Store half in a Ziploc bag for future use.
  • Make an egg wash by whisking the eggs and water together in a bowl.
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper, dip it in the flour mixture, followed by the egg wash, and then back in the flour mixture, pressing the coating onto the meat.

Cooking

  • Heat a skillet with about half an inch of canola oil over medium heat.
  • Fry the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  • Drain the fried chicken on a wire rack for a few minutes and then dip into the Honey Garlic Sauce.
  • To make the Honey Garlic Sauce, heat olive oil in a medium saucepan, add minced garlic and cook until softened. Then, add honey, soy sauce, and black pepper, simmer for 5-10 minutes.
  • Alternatively, preheat the oven to 425°F, prepare the chicken as for frying, place on a preheated baking sheet, and bake for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the oven or microwave. For less crispiness, reduce frying time and use chicken thighs for a juicier option.
