PECAN HONEY GLAZED FRIED CHICKEN

Nothing says 'south' like good fried chicken, but when pecan honey glaze is drizzled on top then it takes it to a whole new level. I was inspired when my husband and I visited a soul food restaurant, and I just had to come home and duplicate it. I must admit I think I hit the nail on the head - at least my family admits it. Enjoy!

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 quart peanut oil for frying, or as needed
1 whole whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
1 teaspoon seasoned salt, or to taste
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups self-rising flour
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup butter
½ cup honey
1 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Heat peanut oil in deep skillet or deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Oil should be deep enough to cover chicken pieces halfway.
  • Season chicken pieces on all sides with seasoned salt.
  • Put beaten eggs in a large bowl. Mix flour, salt, and black pepper in a large paper bag.
  • Dip seasoned chicken into beaten egg; place each piece into bag containing seasoned flour and shake to coat.
  • Cook chicken in hot oil until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh near the bone should read 165 degrees F (75 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
  • Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. Whisk honey into melted butter; cook, whisking occasionally, until bubbles start to form, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low; simmer another 10 minutes. Fold pecans into butter mixture; cook until the pecans are hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Drizzle over hot chicken pieces to serve.

HONEY PECAN GLAZED FRIED CHICKEN

I lived in Savannah GA for several years when I was growing up. There is a restaurant there that my mother used to take me to called the Pirate House. It is a very old historic restaurant that goes back to the 1700's and has under ground tunnels that you can see in the restaurant. It is also haunted! Anyway they have this...

2 c self rising flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
oil for frying
GLAZE
3/4 c honey
2 stick (1 cup) butter
1/2 c pecans, coarsly chopped
*TIP: IF YOU LIKE MY MAN CATCHING FRIED CHICKEN THEN YOU CAN COOK THAT AND ADD THE HONEY PECAN GLAZE ON TOP!

Steps:

  • 1. Wash the chicken and pat dry. Place the buttermilk and eggs in a 9x13 baking dish and mix. Place the chicken into the buttermilk dish.

Place the pecans in the mix and bring to a boil on med heat and then quickly reduce to a simmer on low for 8-10 minutes mixing occasionally. Keep an eye on this because you don't want it to caramelize. Take off stove and set aside till all chicken is done frying.

HONEY PECAN GLAZED FRIED CHICKEN

I have been looking for this recipe for years and could never find exactly what I had been looking for until I saw this in a Grandparenting magazine. When I had it years ago, it did not have the pecans but I love pecans and thought that topped off the recipe perfectly.

Categories     Chicken

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 lb chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
4 c buttermilk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 c self-rising flour
1-1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
oil for frying
FOR GLAZE
3/4 c honey
2 stick butter
1/2 c pecans, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Wash the chicken and pat dry.
  • 2. Place the buttermilk and eggs in a 9x13 inch baking dish and mix. Place the chicken into the buttermilk dish. With a spoon, cover the tops of the chicken with the buttermilk mixture. Set out for at least an hour, flipping the chicken once after 30 minutes. You can also leave this in the fridge covered overnight for extra flavor and tenderness.
  • 3. Combine all the dry ingredients in a balking dish. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture.
  • 4. Place the chicken pieces in the fryer for 12-14 minutes or deep skillet for 6-7 minutes on each side at 350 degrees without crowding.
  • 5. While the chicken if frying, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Pour in the honey and mix with the butter. Place the pecans in the mix and bring to a boil on medium heat, then quickly reduce to a simmer for 8-10 minutes, mixing occasionally. Keep an eye on this, because you don't want it to caramelize. Take off stove and set aside until all chicken is finished frying.
  • 6. When chicken is finished frying, drain it on a paper towel-lined plate. Transfer drained chicken onto a serving platter and drizzle the honey pecan glaze over the chicken.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality honey: The quality of your honey will directly impact the flavor of your glaze. Choose a honey that is raw and unfiltered, as this will give you the best flavor.
  • Use a neutral-flavored oil for frying: This will help to prevent the chicken from tasting greasy. Canola oil or vegetable oil are both good choices.
  • Fry the chicken in small batches: This will help to ensure that the chicken cooks evenly and doesn't overcrowd the pan.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make the glaze while the chicken is frying: This will give the glaze time to thicken and develop its flavor.
  • Toss the chicken in the glaze immediately after it comes out of the fryer: This will help the glaze to stick to the chicken.

Conclusion:

Honey pecan glazed fried chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet honey, crunchy pecans, and savory chicken is sure to please everyone at your table. With these tips, you can make the best honey pecan glazed fried chicken possible.
