Steps:

Working in batches, carefully add chicken to pot; cook, turning occasionally with tongs, until golden brown and a thermometer inserted into thickest parts (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees, about 15 minutes for white meat, 10 to 12 minutes for dark. (Adjust heat to maintain oil temperature between 325 degrees and 350 degrees, and return oil to 350 degrees between batches.) Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt and pepper. Serve warm, drizzled with honey and sprinkled with lavender.
