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).

I made this chicken for my family and they loved it! The glaze was the perfect balance of sweet and savory. The chicken was cooked to perfection and was very juicy. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not a fan of dark meat chicken, so I used all white meat instead. The chicken was still very juicy and flavorful. The glaze was perfect.

I didn't have any honey on hand, so I used maple syrup instead. The chicken still turned out great! The glaze was a bit sticky, but it was still very flavorful.

I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated. I think there are easier ways to make fried chicken. However, the chicken was very flavorful and the glaze was delicious.

This chicken was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a less sweet glaze. However, the chicken was cooked perfectly and was very juicy.
