Crunchy Honey Garlic Chicken

I found this recipe for a double crunch honey garlic chicken and altered it. It turned out really good. The sauce even turned out really yummy... questionable, but yummy!

The recipe is for 4 chicken breasts, but the pictures show 3 because there are only 3 of us, duh!

Crunch Honey Garlic Chicken

Ingredients Needed:

• 4 chicken breasts
• canola oil for frying
• 1 cup of flour
• 2 tsp of salt
• 2 tsp of pepper
• 1 1/2 tbsp of ground ginger
• 2 tbsp of seasoning salt
• 4 eggs
• 8 tbsp of water
• 2 tbsp of olive oil
• 3-4 tsp minced garlic
• 1 cup of honey
• 1/4 cup soy sauce

Directions:

1. Place the chicken breasts between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and using a meat mallet, pound the meat to an even 1/2 inch thickness.
2. Mix together the flour, salt, pepper, ground ginger and seasoning salt in a bowl. 
3. Whisk the eggs and water to make an egg wash in a separate bowl. 
4. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dip the meat in the flour and spice mixture. 
5. Dip the breast into the egg wash and then a final time into the flour and spice mixture, pressing the mix into the meat to get good contact.
6. Heat a skillet on the stove with about half an inch of canola oil covering the bottom. Fry the chicken breasts on a low heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy and then drain on a paper towel. 
7. To make the sauce: In a medium sauce pan, add 2 tbsp olive oil and minced garlic and cook over medium heat to soften the garlic but don't let it brown. Add the honey and soy sauce and simmer together for about 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool for a few minutes. (be careful while simmering, it can boil over and cause a mess!)
