Number Of Ingredients 20

4 large boneless chicken breasts
SPICE MIXTURE
2 c flour
4 tsp salt
4 tsp black pepper
3 Tbsp ground ginger
2 Tbsp nutmeg ground
2 tsp ground thyme
2 tsp ground sage
2 Tbsp paprika
1 tsp cayenne pepper
EGG WASH
4 eggs large
8 Tbsp water
HONEY GARLIC SAUCE
2 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
4 clove garlic (minced)
1 c honey
1/4 c soy sauce
1 tsp ground black pepper

Steps:

1. Use a meat mallet to pound your chicken to a consistent thickness of about 1/2 inch.
2. Sift together spice mixture; set aside
3. Make the egg wash by combining the eggs and water; set aside.
4. Season the chicken to taste with a pinch of salt and pepper. Next, dunk the chicken breasts into the spice mixture, followed by a dip in the egg wash and finally one more trip through the spice mix. Make sure the chicken is well coated.
5. Add oil to your pan to about 1/2 inch from bottom. Heat over medium/low heat, being careful not to get the oil too hot. Gently fry the chicken until golden and fabulous - about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from pan and let drain for a few minutes.
6. Next, create your sauce. Cook olive oil and garlic over medium heat until garlic is soft, but not brown.
7. Add the honey, soy sauce and black pepper. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, being careful not to let it bubble over. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes before dunking your finished chicken in. (You can also drizzle it over the chicken, if you prefer.)
