Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 3–4 large chicken breasts, cut into strips
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour, divided
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon sage
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup canola oil (for frying)

For the Honey Garlic Sauce:

 

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4–5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) honey
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  • Prep Chicken: Cut chicken breasts into strips or bite-sized pieces. Pound to 1/2 inch thickness with a meat mallet.
  • Create Coating Stations: In the first dish, combine 1 cup flour with all spices (salt, pepper, ginger, nutmeg, thyme, sage, cayenne, paprika). In the second dish, whisk eggs and 2 tablespoons water. Place remaining 1 cup plain flour in a third dish.
  • Double Coat: Dredge each chicken piece in seasoned flour, then egg wash, then plain flour, back to egg wash, and finally seasoned flour again. This double coating is key to the crunch.
  • Fry Chicken: Heat canola oil in a large skillet to 350°F over medium-high heat. Fry chicken pieces in batches for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Drain on paper towels.
  • Make Sauce: In a small saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in honey, soy sauce, and water. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
  • Glaze: Place fried chicken in a large bowl. Pour honey garlic sauce over chicken and toss gently to coat evenly.

 

  • Serve: Enjoy immediately while the coating is at its crispiest. Garnish with green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
