Equipment

  • deep skillet
  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • 1 pound Boneless Chicken Thighs
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 cup Cornstarch
  • 2 large Eggs

For the Honey Butter Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1/2 cup Honey
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika

For Serving

  • 2 tablespoons Chopped Fresh Parsley
  • 2 pieces Lemon Wedges

Instructions

Preparation

  • Start by cutting the boneless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they're manageable for frying. Pat them dry with paper towels to promote crispiness.
  • In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour and cornstarch. This blend will create that irresistible crunchy texture you crave. Set aside.
  • Beat the eggs in a separate bowl. Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly in the flour mixture.
  • Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot (about 350°F), carefully add the chicken pieces, frying until golden brown and crispy—around 5-7 minutes.
  • In another pan, melt unsalted butter over low heat. Stir in honey, garlic powder, and paprika until everything combines into a luscious sauce.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, drain any excess oil and place on a plate. Drizzle the honey butter sauce over the crispy chicken, ensuring every piece is glistening and coated with flavor.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and lemon wedges for an extra burst of freshness. Enjoy your Crispy Honey Butter Chicken warm!

Notes

For extra crunch, let the coated chicken sit for about 10 minutes before frying. Store leftovers in an airtight container without the sauce to maintain crisply.
