DOUBLE CRUNCH HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN — Tender chicken breast, breaded, fried, then coated in honey garlic sauce!
This Double Crunch Honey Garlic Chicken was absolutely amazing! Usually, I don’t find coated, fried chicken recipes worth the hassle and mess, but this was 100% worth it.
And actually, it wasn’t much of a hassle at all. Just be sure to pound your chicken breasts to a uniform thickness, so they cook quickly and evenly. It really makes a difference.
The coating on this chicken is fabulous-thick and crunchy, just the way I like it. And the honey garlic sauce adds a terrific sweet and sour flavor.
To say this chicken was a huge hit with my family would be a big understatement. It will definitely be going into the regular rotation.

Yum – we might have to try this!

Another yummy recipe to put on the menu. Would chicken tenders work? Would I need to pound them? They are pretty thin. Just wondering. Have a great day.

Despite the hubby forgetting to double dip the chicken, this turned out excellent! The breading alone is packed with so much flavor. We ended up cutting the breasts into chicken strips before pounding them out. Also, we determined that the amount of sauce (at least for our preferences) could be cut in half. We have so much left over that I’m basting it over grilled shrimp today!

If the chicken was cut into finger sized pieces I think it would make a tasty party dish. Sounds delicious. Must try it.
