Honey Garlic Chicken

Ingredients:

• 4 Chicken Breasts
• 2 cups flour
• 4 tsp salt
• 4 tsp black pepper
• 3 tbsp ground ginger
• 1 tbsp ground nutmeg
• 2 tsp ground thyme
• 2 tsp ground sage
• 2 tbsp paprika
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper
• 4 eggs
• 8 tbsp water
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3-4 cloves minced garlic
• 1 cup honey
• 1/4 cup soy sauce, low sodium soy sauce is best
• 1 tsp ground black pepper
• canola oil for frying

Directions (Chicken):

1. Either pound chicken breasts flat or slice very thinly (going for 1/2" thick)
2. Sift together the flour, salt, black pepper, ground ginger, nutmeg, thyme, sage paprika and cayenne pepper. This makes a lot, so leave about half aside unless you end up needing it.
3. Whisk together Eggs and Water
4. 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.
5. Heat canola oil on a larges skillet on the stove. Add about 1/2" of Canola oil. Going for approximately 375° F.
6. Cook breasts for 4/5 minutes per side. You can keep an eye on them with a meat thermometer to make sure you're not overcooking them. If they are coming up to temp too quick, turn down the temp.
7. Drain breasts on a wire rack.

Directions (Honey Garlic Sauce):

1. The original recipe for this chicken has you toss the chicken in the sauce, but we found this ruins the crispyness of the chicken. We just use it as a dipping sauce.
2. Add 2tbsp of Olive Oil to a sauce pan and bring up to medium heat.
3. Add minced garlic to Olive Oil and cook until it just begins to brown.
4. Add honey, soy sauce, and black pepper and stir until sauce begins to thicken.
5. Once sauce thickens, allow to cool and serve.
