Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 cup of flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Cooked rice for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oil: Heat oil in your heavy-bottomed frying pan over medium heat. Aim for about 350°F for the perfect frying temperature.
- Mix the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk them together to create a well-integrated batter.
- Dredge the chicken: Take each chicken breast and coat it generously in the flour mixture, ensuring an even layer to achieve a delightful crunch.
- Fry the chicken: Gently place the chicken in the hot oil. Fry for approximately 6–7 minutes per side, or until you witness a beautiful golden-brown crust.
- Prepare the hot honey sauce: In a separate saucepan, mix honey, hot sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Warm this mixture over low heat until everything melds beautifully.
- Drizzle the hot honey: Once your chicken is cooked through, pour the warm hot honey sauce liberally over each breast.
- Serve with love: Plate your crispy chicken breasts over a generous scoop of fluffy cooked rice.
