Double Crunch Honey Garlic Chicken Breasts

This is another recipe that I had pinned from Rock Recipes.  Oh my...it was GOOD!!  This was my first time to ever fry anything.  We don't normally eat like that, but I will definitely bend the rules for this!  I know it looks like a lot of ingredients, but it really isn't bad.  You have most of this stuff in your pantry!

Double Crunch Honey Garlic Chicken Breasts

4 large boneless chicken breasts (place the chicken between two pieces of plastic wrap and using a meat mallet, pound to 1/2 inch thickness

Sift together:

2 cups flour

4 teaspoons salt

4 teaspoons pepper

2 tablespoons ground nutmeg

2 teaspoons ground thyme

2 teaspoons ground sage

2 tablespoons paprika

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

(The recipe says this mix makes enough for two batches and you can freeze half of it. I halved it and still had a ton!)

Egg wash:

whisk together 4 eggs and 8 tablespoons water

Honey Garlic Sauce:

In a medium saucepan add:

2 tablespoons olive oil

3-4 cloves minced garlic

Cook over medium heat to soften garlic, but don't let it brown, then add:

1 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce

1 teaspoon pepper

Simmer for 5-10 minutes, remove from heat and allow to cool.

Season the chicken with salt and pepper and then dip in the flour/spice mixture to coat.  Then, dip in the egg wash and then dip in the flour/spice mixture again.  Press to coat.  Heat a skillet just below medium with a half inch canola oil covering the bottom.  Fry gently about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown.

 Dry chicken on a wire rack for a couple of minutes before coating in the garlic honey sauce.  Serve over rice or noodles.

Seriously yummy stuff here!!  Enjoy!  :)
