Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 8 tablespoons water
  • Canola or vegetable oil for frying (or light oil spray for baking)
  • For the honey-garlic sauce:
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Flatten the chicken breasts to about 1/2 inch thickness for even cooking, if needed.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, black pepper, ground ginger, and nutmeg.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs with water to make an egg-wash.
  4. Lightly season the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge each breast in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg-wash, and coat again in the flour mixture, pressing to adhere.
  5. For frying: Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken breasts 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked. Drain on a wire rack.
  6. For baking: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Preheat an oiled baking sheet. Arrange coated chicken on the hot sheet, spray tops with oil, and bake 15 minutes. Flip and bake another 10–15 minutes until crisp and cooked through.
  7. While chicken cooks, make the sauce: In a small saucepan, sauté garlic briefly in a bit of oil (optional), then add honey, soy sauce, and black pepper. Simmer 5–10 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
  8. Toss cooked chicken in warm honey-garlic sauce or serve sauce on the side for dipping.
  9. Serve immediately with rice, noodles, or vegetables.

Notes

  • For best crispiness, drain fried chicken on a wire rack, not paper towels.
  • Apply sauce just before serving to keep coating crunchy.
  • You can bake or air-fry for a lighter version with great results.
