Honey Garlic Chicken

Ingredients

• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 pound boneless (skinless chicken breasts, cut crosswise in half)
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
• 2 large eggs (beaten)
• 1/2 cup honey (or more, to taste)
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Steps

1. 1

   In a medium saucepan over medium high heat, combine honey, garlic and soy sauce. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and 1/4 cup water. Stir mixture into the saucepan until thickened, about 1-2 minutes; set aside.

2. 2

   Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, combine flour, thyme, oregano, paprika and cayenne pepper.

4. 4

   Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Working one at a time, dredge chicken in flour mixture, dip into eggs, then dredge in flour mixture again, pressing to coat.

5. 5

   Working in batches, add chicken to the skillet, 2 or 3 at a time, and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

6. 6

   Serve immediately with honey garlic sauce.
