Ingredients

• 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 1.5 cups Breadcrumbs
• 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

In a second shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.

Step 3

In a third shallow bowl, add the breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Dredge each piece in the seasoned flour, dip it into the egg mixture, and coat it with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil reaches 350°F (175°C), carefully add the chicken thighs in batches, frying until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 75°C), about 5-7 minutes per side. Set fried chicken on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 6

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, soy sauce, butter, and red chili flakes (if using). Stir until the butter melts and the mixture is well combined. Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 7

Carefully dip each piece of fried chicken into the warm honey glaze, making sure to coat it evenly. Place the glazed pieces on a serving platter.

Step 8

Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped parsley over the chicken as garnish, if desired.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy your Honey Dipped Chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
