Crispy Skillet Fried Chicken With A Spicy Honey Drizzle Recipes

CRISPY HONEY-GLAZED FRIED CHICKEN RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, add the salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, and cayenne and mix until combined. In a another medium bowl, combine half of the spice mix with the flour, mixing until the spices are evenly distributed.
• Add the chicken to a large bowl and sprinkle with the remaining spice blend. Mix until all the chicken pieces are evenly coated.
• Pour the buttermilk over the chicken and stir until the residual spices from the chicken have blended in with the buttermilk to create a light orange color. Marinate the chicken in the fridge for 2 hours, or overnight.
• Heat the oil to about 325°F (160°C) in a large cast-iron skillet.
• Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip them back into the buttermilk mixture, then back into the flour. Make sure to shake off excess flour or it'll burn while frying.
• Fry 3-4 chicken pieces at a time, occasionally turning them over. Cook for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown, crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Rest the cooked chicken pieces on a wire rack to let excess oil drain off.
• Drizzle the chicken with honey, then serve.
• Enjoy!

JUICY HONEY FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine flour, seasoned bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, paprika, and pepper in a small, shallow bowl.
• Combine milk, egg, honey, lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder in a separate shallow bowl until well blended.
• Dip chicken pieces first in the flour mixture to coat all sides and shake off excess. Dip into the egg mixture and back into the flour mixture. Set chicken pieces aside on a plate to rest for 10 minutes.
• Pour 1 inch of peanut oil into a deep-fryer or large saucepan and heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) over medium-high heat. Fry chicken a few pieces at a time, without crowding, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to the prepared baking sheet using tongs.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

CRISPY CHICKEN BREASTS WITH SPICY HONEY

Steps:

• For the chicken: Place a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add your frying oil and heat to 375 degrees F.
• In a large bowl or a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag, mix together the cornstarch, baking powder, salt and your favorite seasonings. Add your chicken pieces to the flour mixture. Coat the chicken well, but be sure to shake off any excess flour. At this point the chicken can be battered immediately, or it can sit, refrigerated, for 2 hours or overnight, coated in the dry dredge.
• In a separate large bowl, whisk together all of the dry batter ingredients, then add all of the wet ingredients, stirring to smooth out any lumps.
• Dredge the cornstarch-coated cutlets in the batter, letting any excess drip off and lay them in the oil. Add a few pieces at a time so the temperature of the oil doesn't drop, and fry until golden brown on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined tray.
• For the spicy honey: Whisk together the honey and Sriracha or chiles in a bowl. If using chiles, allow the heat to infuse for at least 30 minutes.
• To serve, drizzle the chicken with your Spicy Honey and serve with any extra Spicy Honey on the side.

CRISPY BAKED WINGS WITH BERBERE HONEY GLAZE AND FRIED GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450˚ F. Pat the wings very dry with paper towels and place in a large bowl. Stir together the baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, coriander and 1 tablespoon salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture over the wings and toss well to coat. Arrange the wings, fatty-side down, in a single layer on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake 30 minutes, then turn the wings over and bake until golden brown and crispy, 15 to 20 more minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Drain the wings on paper towels and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the fried garlic: Smash each clove of garlic, then peel and finely chop. Add the vegetable oil and garlic to a small skillet. Turn the heat to medium and cook until the garlic is lightly golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and continue to cook until the garlic is completely golden, 1 more minute. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve; remove the garlic to a paper towel-lined plate to cool.
• Make the berbere honey glaze: In a small pot over medium-low heat, warm the vinegar and honey until the honey is loose and less viscous. Whisk in the berbere and cook over low heat until evenly distributed and heated through, about 2 minutes.
• Toss the wings with the glaze and fried garlic before serving. Top with chives.
