Steps:
- Stir together the pecans, bread crumbs, and 2 tablespoons of clarified butter. Spread the mixture out on a plate. Press the chicken breasts into the mixture to coat on both sides. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of clarified butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the coated chicken breasts in the pan, and fry on both sides until nicely browned and chicken meat is cooked through, about 10 minutes per side.

STICKY MAPLE BOURBON CHICKEN
This recipe is a match made in heaven between bourbon, fresh thyme, and maple syrup. It's also a really cool method that is universal for preparing almost anything. The basic idea is that whatever is being cooked (pork, vegetables, or in this case, chicken) is made delicious and "sticky" by adding a sweetener to a pan sauce and then reducing it while dinner cooks in it.

Steps:
- Place a large heavy-bottom or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat with the olive oil. Season the chicken liberally with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the pan breast-side down and sear until deep golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
- While the chicken in searing, in a small dish whisk together the stock, syrup, and bourbon. Add the bourbon mixture to the skillet along with the thyme sprigs and continue cooking, turning the chicken occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and the sauce has reduced to a thick syrupy consistency, 8 to 10 minutes. (If the sauce reduces to a syrupy consistency before the chicken has cooked through, add a few splashes of stock to the skillet and continue cooking.)
- To serve, remove and discard the thyme sprigs. Spoon the sticky sauce over the chicken and enjoy warm.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, free-range chicken thighs, pure maple syrup, and good quality bourbon will make all the difference in the flavor of your dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken thighs, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can brown evenly.
- Cook the chicken thighs until they are cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature of the chicken thighs has reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit before removing them from the heat.
- Make sure the sauce is thick and syrupy: Reduce the maple bourbon sauce until it has thickened and coats the back of a spoon.
- Serve the chicken thighs immediately: This dish is best served hot, so make sure to have all of your sides ready before you start cooking the chicken.
