How to Make Double Crunch Honey Garlic Chicken Breasts
-
Prepare the chicken. Pound the chicken breasts to even thickness. Pat dry with paper towels.
-
Set up your dredging station. In one bowl, whisk eggs and milk. In another, mix flour, cornstarch, and seasonings.
-
Coat the chicken. Dip each piece in the flour mixture, then in the egg wash, then back into the flour for that double crunch coating.
-
Fry until golden. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken on both sides until crispy and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate.
-
Make the honey garlic sauce. In a saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, garlic, sugar, and vinegar. Simmer until slightly thickened, then whisk in cornstarch slurry.
-
Glaze and serve. Pour the sauce over the hot chicken or toss to coat evenly. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
Tips for Extra-Crispy Chicken
-
Use cornstarch in your coating — it’s the key to that restaurant-style crunch.
-
Don’t overcrowd the pan; fry in batches for even cooking.
-
For a lighter version, you can also air fry or oven-bake the chicken and drizzle the sauce afterward.
