Honey Pecan Chicken Recipes

HONEY PECAN CHICKEN

Steps:

• Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces. Place in a medium bowl and pour buttermilk on top. Refriegrate for 1 to 4 hours.
• Combine flour, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne in a shallow bowl.
• Drain off buttermilk from chicken and toss chicken pieces in flour mixture to coat. Let chicken pieces sit for 20 minutes.
• Pour 1/2 inch oil into a large pan. Heat oil until hot. It should sizzle when you drop a pinch of flour in it.
• Fry chicken just until browned. Remove to paper towels to drain. Place in a 9-inch square baking dish.
• In a medium saucepan, melt butter. Add honey, cayenne, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook and stir until thickened some. Stir in pecans.
• Pour honey mixture over chicken pieces. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes.

HONEY PECAN CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• Dredge the cutlets in flour, shaking off excess.
• Heat two tablespoons margarine in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
• Add the cutlets and brown on both sides, about 5-6 minutes.
• Stir together the remaining tablespoon margarine, honey and pecans.
• Add to the skillet, stir gently.
• Cover and simmer gently for 7-8 minutes.
• Remove cutlets to a serving platter, pour sauce over and serve.

HONEY PECAN CHICKEN STRIPS

Steps:

• Place the chicken in a large bowl. Add the buttermilk and hot sauce, then toss to combine. Allow to marinate 15 to 30 minutes.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour, pecans and seasoning salt. Mix well and set aside.
• Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over a medium heat until it reaches 375 degrees F.
• Place a small pan over a low heat and add the honey and butter. Allow the honey to warm and the butter to melt.
• Meanwhile, remove the chicken from the buttermilk a few pieces at a time, then add to the flour/pecan mixture, turning to coat thoroughly. Place on a plate. Continue with the remaining chicken until it is all coated.
• Cook the chicken in the skillet in batches, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crisp, about 4 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Add the chicken to a platter and drizzle over half of the honey butter. Garnish with the parsley. Serve with the remaining honey butter on the side for dipping.

HONEY PECAN GLAZED FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Wash and drain chicken.
• Soak in buttermilk (enough to cover the pieces) for at least 30 minutes.
• Heat shortening or oil to 375 degrees in an electric or cast iron skillet (should be enough hot oil to come half-way up the chicken when placed into the skillet). Place seasoned flour in a paper bag.
• Shake off excess buttermilk from chicken and drop into bag of flour, two or three pieces at a time, and shake to coat.
• (Option: For a thicker, crispier chicken, remove piecesfrom flour, dip in buttermilk a second time and shake them in flour mixture again.)
• Place coated chicken pieces in hot oil and reduce the heat to 325 degrees.
• Cook chicken for 10 minutes on one side, flip chicken over, and cook another 10 minutes on second side.
• Drain cooked chicken on paper towels.
• For the glaze, melt butter over low heat. Whisk in honey until blended.
• Bring to a simmer and add pecans.
• Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Ladle over hot fried chicken.

HONEY PECAN GLAZED FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• 1. Wash the chicken and pat dry. Place the buttermilk and eggs in a 9x13 baking dish and mix. Place the chicken into the buttermilk dish. With a spoon cover the tops of chicken with the buttermilk mixture. Set out for at least an hour flipping the chicken once after 30 min. You can also leave this in the fridge covered over night too for extra flavor and tenderness.
• 2. Combine all the dry ingredients together in a baking dish. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture and fry in the fryer for 12-14 minutes or deep skillet for 6-7 minutes on each side at 350 without crowding.
• 3. Meanwhile while chicken is frying, melt the butter in a small sauce pan over med-heat . Pour in the honey and mix together with the butter. Place the pecans in the mix and bring to a boil on med heat and then quickly reduce to a simmer on low for 8-10 minutes mixing occasionally. Keep an eye on this because you don't want it to caramelize. Take off stove and set aside till all chicken is done frying.
• 4. When chicken is done frying drain it on a paper towel lined plate. Transfer drained chicken onto a serving platter and drizzle the honey pecan glaze all over the chicken. Enjoy!
