Crispy Honey Chicken Recipe

Chunked chicken covered in pro flour after which dipped in buttermilk, fried till splendid crispy, after which soaked in a sweet honey soy sauce. This crispy honey fowl turns out splendid and is so delicious! You’ll love the crispy coating and texture.

Adequate pals. All i'm able to simply say approximately this crispy honey chook is that you. need. To. Make. It! trust me. I generally don’t waste my time making dishes that have to be pan-fried in oil. because truly, it’s a variety of work to stand there, dredge the chook, fry it up, and then do away with all of it after which do all that for 3 more batches.

I promise that this one is really worth all of the “paintings” of dredging, frying, transferring, cooling and repeating. It virtually is!

It was even worth having my 2-12 months-old “kitchen helper” tear apart the Tupperware drawer even as I made this. because that’s precisely what she did. by the time i used to be accomplished there was lids and bowls, and packing containers all around the kitchen.
