Honey Garlic Chicken

The most amazing crisp-tender chicken with a honey garlic sauce that is out of this world. So good, you’ll want to use this sauce on everything!

Surprisingly enough, this is a recipe I bookmarked about 4 years ago. And I finally got around to it this week.

Talk about procrastinating. But this dish here was really worth the 4 year wait.

Aside from the amazingly crisp-tender chicken cutlets, the honey garlic sauce is the true star here.

I even set aside a secret stash to drizzle over some rice. Or maybe I’ll just guzzle it down. No one has to know.

Instructions

• In a medium saucepan over medium high heat, combine honey, garlic and soy sauce. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and 1/4 cup water. Stir mixture into the saucepan until thickened, about 1-2 minutes; set aside.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.

• Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Working one at a time, dredge chicken in flour mixture, dip into eggs, then dredge in flour mixture again, pressing to coat.

• Serve immediately with honey garlic sauce.
