3-4 cloves minced garlic
1 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
Canola oil for frying

Instructions

Follow these detailed steps to create the perfect Double Crunch Honey Garlic Chicken Breasts:

Step 1: Preparing the Chicken

Flatten the chicken breasts to about 1/2 inch thickness between two sheets of plastic wrap for even cooking and perfect crunch.

Step 2: Creating the Coating

Sift together the flour, salt, black pepper, ground ginger, nutmeg, thyme, sage, cayenne pepper, and paprika. Reserve half the mixture for a second coating.

Step 3: Making the Egg Wash

In a bowl, whisk together eggs and water to create an egg wash for coating the chicken.

Step 4: Coating the Chicken

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Dip each breast into the flour mixture, ensuring full coverage.
Dip the coated chicken into the egg wash, letting excess drip off.
Coat again in the reserved flour mixture, pressing gently for adhesion.

Step 5: Frying the Chicken

Heat canola oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Fry the chicken breasts until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Drain excess oil on paper towels.

Step 6: Making the Honey Garlic Sauce

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Stir in honey and soy sauce, simmering until slightly thickened.

Step 7: Serving

Drizzle the crispy chicken breasts with the honey garlic sauce and serve immediately.

Oven-Baked Version

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a baking sheet with oil. Follow coating steps, then bake chicken for 15 minutes, flip, and bake another 10-15 minutes. Serve with honey garlic sauce.

Serving and Storage Tips

Pair with steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes to retain crispiness.

Helpful Notes and Variations

Spicy Kick: Add extra cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the sauce.
