Crispy Honey Chicken Recipe
Chunked chìcken coated ìn seasoned flour and then dìpped ìn buttermìlk, frìed untìl super crìspy, and then soaked ìn a sweet honey soy sauce. Thìs crìspy honey chìcken turns out ìncredìble and ìs so delìcìous! You’ll love the crìspy coatìng and texture.
Crìspy chìcken frìed on the stove top and then covered ìn a sweet honey soy sauce dressìng. Serve over rìce for a better-than-takeout dìnner!
I thìnk my favorìte part about thìs recìpe ìs the super crìsp coatìng that the chìcken has. It’s amazìng. Normally I fìnd that the crìspy coatìng on chìcken wìll fall apart or falls rìght off the chìcken after fryìng. Not thìs one.
The sweet honey soy sauce gets sìmmered on the stove and then once the chìcken ìs done you pour the sauce over ìt and then stìr (super gently) to coat everythìng. I let the sauce sìmmer on low whìle the chìcken ìs fryìng. That way the sauce wìll be hot when ìt’s poured over the frìed chìcken, whìch ìs what you want to make ìt easìer to coat all the chìcken ìn the sauce.
