Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 eggs
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
• 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• ¼ cup hot sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
• 2 teaspoons ground paprika
• 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into chunks

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Whisk together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, nutmeg, dried parsley, and chili powder in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Transfer half the flour mixture into another bowl. Beat eggs in a third bowl.

Step 3

Dredge chicken pieces into flour mixture in the first bowl, then dip into beaten egg; finally dip each piece in flour mixture from the second bowl. Place 3 or 4 breaded chicken pieces at a time into the hot oil, and deep-fry until the chicken is golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of a chicken piece should read 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).

Step 4

Stir the hot sauce with soy sauce in a saucepan over low heat; slowly stir the honey into the sauce, mixing until well combined. Stir butter into the sauce. Place the deep-fried chicken into a bowl, and toss with the sauce to serve.
