Time 1h13m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
2 teaspoons salt
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (3 pound) broiler-fryer chicken, cut into pieces
½ cup milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
½ teaspoon garlic powder
peanut oil for frying

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine flour, seasoned bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, paprika, and pepper in a small, shallow bowl.
  • Combine milk, egg, honey, lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder in a separate shallow bowl until well blended.
  • Dip chicken pieces first in the flour mixture to coat all sides and shake off excess. Dip into the egg mixture and back into the flour mixture. Set chicken pieces aside on a plate to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Pour 1 inch of peanut oil into a deep-fryer or large saucepan and heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) over medium-high heat. Fry chicken a few pieces at a time, without crowding, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to the prepared baking sheet using tongs.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Time 1h45m

Two 4-pound chickens, each cut into 10 pieces (2 legs, 2 thighs, 4 breast halves and 2 wings)
4 cups buttermilk
1 3/4 tablespoons kosher salt
1 1/2 tablespoons ground black pepper
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon paprika
8 cups vegetable or canola oil
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons garlic powder

  • In a large, deep pot or Dutch oven pour enough of the oil to fill the pot 3- to 4-inches. Heat over medium-high heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 350 degrees F. Set a cooling rack over a baking sheet.
  • In a large bowl, whisk to combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, the remaining 3/4 tablespoon salt, 1/2 tablespoon pepper and 1 tablespoon paprika. Whisk to combine the dredge.
  • Lift the chicken from the buttermilk, then coat the pieces completely in the flour. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet or large plate.
  • Working in batches and being careful to not overcrowd the pot, add the legs and thighs to the hot oil and cook, turning and monitoring the oil temperature, until crisp and golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to the prepared rack. Add the wings and breast pieces to the oil and cook until deep golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to the rack, then drizzle with honey and serve.

Provided by DeSouter

Categories     Chicken

Time 50m

Yield 8-10 pieces of chicken

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 lbs chicken parts
2 quarts water
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup kosher salt
1 cup cornstarch, sifted
3/4 cup water
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup cornstarch
3/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons hot sauce
vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Make brine and batter at the same time so that they can be refrigerated for an adequate amount of time. The batter will be thin, but is quite adequate. It will thicken when chilled. Brine chicken in 2 quarts of water with 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of salt whisked inches Refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes. Heat oil (about 4 cups) to 350 degrees Farenheit in a 4 quart pot. Dry chicken and dredge in 1/2 Celsius cornstarch, shaking off any excess. Coat with batter and carefully drop into the oil, cooking for 5 to 7 minutes. Chicken will be light in color, but remove to a cooling rack or paper bags/towels. When all chicken is par-fried, reheat oil to 350 degrees. Dip fried chicken pieces into batter again and fry for another 5 to 7 minutes, then drain again. In a medium bowl, microwave honey and hot sauce for one minute. Place chicken pieces, one at a time, into warm mix and roll around until completely coated. Remove to a cooling rack. Enjoy hot or cold. Even when chilled, the chicken will remain super crispy.

HONEY FRIED CHICKEN BITES



Honey Fried Chicken Bites image

The combo of honey and pickle brine (sweet, sour and salty) makes for the perfect sauce to toss with chunks of fried chicken. We use thigh meat because it stays juicer, and add a little buttermilk to our dredging flour; it helps make it shaggy, which makes the chicken crunchier.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 2h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cups buttermilk
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons dill pickle brine, plus 2 tablespoons chopped dill pickle
4 tablespoons hot sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut in to 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup honey
2 cups self-rising flour
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 cup vegetable shortening

Steps:

  • Combine 1/2 cup buttermilk, 1/3 cup pickle juice, 2 tablespoons hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken thighs, seal the bag and shake to evenly disperse. Refrigerate and let marinate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
  • Whisk together the honey, chopped pickles and the remaining 2 tablespoons each pickle juice and hot sauce in a large bowl until well combined.
  • Whisk together the flour, paprika, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Pour in the remaining 1/4 cup of buttermilk and use your fingers to work it in, making the flour shaggy.
  • Fill a large, wide Dutch oven or pot with about 2 1/2 inches of oil, then add the shortening. Attach a deep-fat fry thermometer to the side of the pot and bring to 350 degrees F over medium heat. Line a large baking sheet with paper towels and a wire rack if desired and set aside.
  • Drain the chicken in a colander but do not pat dry. Transfer the chicken to the flour mixture, making sure to press the pieces into the flour to fully coat. Set on a plate. (If you notice the chicken getting soggy in any spots as it sits, dredge it in the flour mixture again.)
  • When the oil is at 350 degrees F, very carefully slide the breaded chicken into the oil and fry until deep golden brown with an internal temperature of about 170 degrees F, about 4 minutes. Remove to the lined baking sheet and sprinkle with a little salt.
  • Put the chicken in the bowl with the honey mixture and toss to coat. Serve in paper cones with toothpicks for skewering the chicken bites.

HONEY-FRIED CHICKEN



Honey-Fried Chicken image

This recipe came to The Times in 1986 from the Dallas kitchen of Stephan Pyles, a native Texan whose culinary star still shines over the state. It is a sophisticated twist on a classic, dousing a skin crisp with white and whole-wheat flour in a creamy sauce of lemon, mint and thyme. This is not exactly weeknight cooking - you'll need to marinate the chicken in honey and vinegar for at least two hours before frying - so consider it for a Sunday supper, a savory treat before the work week begins.

Provided by The New York Times

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 four-pound chicken, cut into serving pieces
1/2 cup honey
2 1/2 tablespoons vinegar, preferably raspberry or other fruit-flavored vinegar
Salt, if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup lard
1/2 cup corn, peanut or vegetable oil
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup rich chicken broth
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves or one teaspoon dried
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon rind
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • Put the chicken pieces in a mixing bowl. Blend the honey and vinegar and pour it over the chicken. Stir to coat the pieces evenly. Let stand at least two hours, stirring occasionally. Drain the pieces on paper toweling but reserve and set aside two tablespoons of the marinade. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the lard and oil in a 12-inch frying pan to a temperature, if a thermometer is available, of 360 degrees.
  • Meanwhile, combine the all-purpose flour with the whole-wheat flour. Add the chicken; stir to coat all over. Shake off excess.
  • Place the pieces skin-side down in the hot fat and cook, turning the pieces often, until they are golden brown all over and cooked through, about 20 minutes or longer. The dark meat pieces generally require a longer cooking time than the white.
  • Pour off most of the fat from the pan, leaving the brown particles that may cling to the pan. Do not wipe out the skillet.
  • Combine the wine with the chicken broth. Heat the skillet and add the mixture, stirring to dissolve the brown particles. Cook until reduced by half.
  • Add the cream, thyme, lemon rind, mint and the two tablespoons of reserved marinade. Cook until reduced to about two cups. Put the sauce through a fine sieve, pressing to extract all the juices from the solids. Reheat and season with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon sauce over the chicken and serve.

Categories     Dinner

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons salt
3 tablespoons black pepper
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
3 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons cayenne powder
3 cups all-purpose flour
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken drumsticks
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
3 cups buttermilk
peanut or vegetable oil, for frying
honey, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, add the salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, and cayenne and mix until combined. In a another medium bowl, combine half of the spice mix with the flour, mixing until the spices are evenly distributed.
  • Add the chicken to a large bowl and sprinkle with the remaining spice blend. Mix until all the chicken pieces are evenly coated.
  • Pour the buttermilk over the chicken and stir until the residual spices from the chicken have blended in with the buttermilk to create a light orange color. Marinate the chicken in the fridge for 2 hours, or overnight.
  • Heat the oil to about 325°F (160°C) in a large cast-iron skillet.
  • Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip them back into the buttermilk mixture, then back into the flour. Make sure to shake off excess flour or it'll burn while frying.
  • Fry 3-4 chicken pieces at a time, occasionally turning them over. Cook for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown, crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Rest the cooked chicken pieces on a wire rack to let excess oil drain off.

Tips:

  • For the best-tasting fried chicken, use fresh, free-range chicken. This will ensure that your chicken is tender and juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside.
  • Make sure your chicken is completely dry before you fry it. This will help the breading adhere to the chicken and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven for frying the chicken. This will help to maintain a consistent temperature and prevent the chicken from burning.
  • Fry the chicken in small batches so that it doesn't overcrowd the pot. This will help to ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the chicken will not cook evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute and make the chicken more tender.

Conclusion:

Honey-dipped fried chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its crispy breading, tender meat, and sweet honey glaze, this chicken is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, give honey-dipped fried chicken a try. You won't be disappointed!
