CRISPY GARLIC CHICKEN

CRISPY GARLIC CHICKEN
Are you in need of easy party appetizer ideas for the busy fall and holiday season? This crispy and sticky garlic chicken recipe is just what you’re looking for!
Nuggets of chicken breast meat are breaded and fried in a skillet. Then they’re covered in a sweet Asian inspired glaze with garlic, honey and soy sauce.
These yummy bites works perfectly for football, Thanksgiving or Christmas parties – or serve them with your favorite sides for dinner.
Now there are an awful lot of baked versions out there but I decided to go another way so these are pan fried.

INGREDIENTS
FOR THE SAUCE
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 6 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
FOR THE CHICKEN
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • Oil for frying
INSTRUCTIONS
TO MAKE THE SAUCE
  1. Add all sauce ingredients to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until starting to thicken. Set aside until all the chicken is done.
TO MAKE THE CHICKEN
  1. Pat the chicken dry. To a shallow dish add the flour. Whisk the eggs together in a second dish and put the breadcrumbs into a third. To bread the chicken coat it first with flour, then with eggs and finally with breadcrumbs. (For a more thorough tutorial on how to correctly bread chicken to give it a nice crispy coating check out this post.
  2. Heat a nonstick frying pan over medium high heat. Add oil and cook the chicken in batches for 6-8 minutes or until golden and crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside.
TO ASSEMBLE
  1. Add all the cooked chicken into the pan and pour the sauce over it. Toss until everything is coated and the sauce has thickened to a syrupy consistency.
