Honey Garlic Chicken

In the middle of cooking this dinner and entertaining 3 kids I realized I was out of honey....so I texted my sweet neighbor then ran next door for a cup of honey. God bless those sweet neighbors. Thankfully she is awesome and buys buckets of raw honey! Just a tip, make sure you have enough of all the ingredients before starting.

8 chicken tenders or 4 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
2 cups flour
2 tsp salt
4 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp ground ginger
1 tbsp ground nutmeg
2 tsp thyme
2 tsp sage
2 tbsp paprika
1 tsp cayenne pepper

Combine flour and seasonings in medium bowl

then make an egg wash in a small bowl by mixing together:
4 eggs
8 tbsp water

Set chicken out on a plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Then take each piece of chicken dip into the flour spice mixture then into the eggwash then once more into the flour spice mixture, pressing it hard to get good contact.
Heat a deep skillet on the stove with 1/2 inch of olive oil covering the bottom. Heat under medium, maybe between 4 and 5 out of 10. You want them brown and crispy but juicy in the middle.

For the Honey Garlic Sauce:
In a medium saucepan heat
2 tbsp olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
Cook over medium heat but do not let the garlic brown
Add 1 cup of honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tsp black pepper
Simmer 5 minutes
Remove and let cool before serving

Simply pour a spoonful over chicken

This is a tad complicated, maybe it was just my circumstances that made it that way but it was well worth the effort. Such a delicious dish! All 3 kids even ate it!
