It is so good that you’ll want to use this sauce on everything.
You will need:
* One cup vegetable oil.
* One cup all-purpose flour.
* One teaspoon dried thyme.
* One teaspoon dried oregano.
* Half a teaspoon paprika.
* Quarter teaspoon cayenne pepper.
* 500 grams boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut crosswise in half.
* Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
* Two large eggs, beaten.
For the honey garlic sauce:
* Half a cup honey, or more, to taste.
* Four cloves garlic, minced.
* Two tablespoons soy sauce.
* One tablespoon corn starch.
What to do:
In a medium saucepan, over medium high heat, combine honey, garlic and soy sauce. In a small bowl, combine corn starch and quarter cup water. Stir mixture into the saucepan until thickened, about one to two minutes; set aside.
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan set over medium high heat.
In a large bowl, combine flour, thyme, oregano, paprika and cayenne pepper.
Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Working one at a time, coat chicken in flour mixture, dip into eggs, then coat in flour mixture again, pressing to coat.
Working in batches, add chicken to the pan, two or three at a time, and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about three to four minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve immediately with honey garlic sauce.
