Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 cups vegetable oil, canola oil, peanut oil or duck fat, for frying
1 cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch of kosher salt
1 teaspoon your favorite seasonings, like smoked paprika or cayenne pepper
8 boneless skinless chicken breasts, each about 6 ounces
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Pinch of kosher salt
1/4 cup pilsner
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup vodka
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup Sriracha or 1/2 cup thinly sliced various chiles, such as jalapeno, fresno and serrano peppers

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Place a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add your frying oil and heat to 375 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl or a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag, mix together the cornstarch, baking powder, salt and your favorite seasonings. Add your chicken pieces to the flour mixture. Coat the chicken well, but be sure to shake off any excess flour. At this point the chicken can be battered immediately, or it can sit, refrigerated, for 2 hours or overnight, coated in the dry dredge.
  • In a separate large bowl, whisk together all of the dry batter ingredients, then add all of the wet ingredients, stirring to smooth out any lumps.
  • Dredge the cornstarch-coated cutlets in the batter, letting any excess drip off and lay them in the oil. Add a few pieces at a time so the temperature of the oil doesn't drop, and fry until golden brown on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined tray.
  • For the spicy honey: Whisk together the honey and Sriracha or chiles in a bowl. If using chiles, allow the heat to infuse for at least 30 minutes.
  • To serve, drizzle the chicken with your Spicy Honey and serve with any extra Spicy Honey on the side.

SPICY HONEY-KISSED CHICKEN



Spicy Honey-Kissed Chicken image

I found this on a blog and we loved it. Leftovers would be great as a base chicken for a curry dish.

Provided by Scarlett516

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon rubbed or crumbled sage
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 lb about 2 large boneless skinless chicken breast
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon light soy sauce

Steps:

  • In a small dish, combine the dry ingredients. Rub the mixture all over the chicken. Cut into strips about 1/2 inch wide.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat (you may want non-stick). Add the oil and coat the bottom of the skillet. Cook the chicken until nearly cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes, stirring or turning often.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients. Stir into the chicken, increase the heat to high, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the chicken has just cooked through.

SPICY HONEY CHICKEN



Spicy Honey Chicken image

Spicy Honey Chicken made with chicken thighs rubbed with a smoky blend of spices and brushed with a sticky sweet honey sauce is one of our favorite dinners during grilling season. Serve it with rice or on top of a bed of arugula dressed with an easy citrus vinaigrette for a delicious meal!

Provided by Amy Nash

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

8-10 chicken thighs
1-2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
3/4 cup honey
3 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat, around 400 to 450 degrees F. Make sure the grill grates are clean.
  • Trim excess fat from the chicken, if needed, then pat dry. Drizzle with the olive oil, rubbing it to coat the chicken on both sides.
  • In a small bowl or jar, combine all of the spice rub ingredients, stirring to combine. Sprinkle the rub evenly over the chicken pieces on both the front and back sides, rubbing it in with your hands so it is evenly distributed.
  • Heat the honey in a small microwave-safe bowl in the microwave for 15 seconds until very runny. Add the vinegar and stir to combine. Set aside 2-3 tablespoons of the honey-vinegar mixture for drizzling over the chicken at the end.
  • Grill boneless chicken thighs for 3-5 minutes per side, anywhere from 6 to 10 minutes total, depending on their size, until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F when tested with a digital meat thermometer. Bone-in chicken thighs will take a little longer to cook - more like 10-14 minutes total with about 5-7 minutes per side. In the last minute or two of grilling, brush the chicken on both sides with the honey-vinegar glaze. Watch the chicken carefully at this point because the honey will smoke and flare-ups can happen because of the sugar in the glaze.
  • Remove from the heat and drizzle with the reserved honey-vinegar glaze, then let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

SPICY HONEY-ROASTED CHICKEN



Spicy Honey-Roasted Chicken image

A weekend favorite, we call this 'sticky' chicken at our house, since the roasted spices and honey form a sticky, sweet and spicy coating during roasting. Wonderful when paired with a fresh green salad!

Provided by KDcook

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Whole Chicken Recipes

Time 2h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (6 pound) whole roasting chicken
½ cup honey
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Rinse and pat dry the chicken; place in roasting pan.
  • In a bowl, mix together the honey, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and garlic powder. Using your hands, rub the honey mixture all over the chicken. Baste chicken with the melted butter.
  • Roast the chicken in the preheated oven until the skin begins to brown, 30 to 45 minutes. Baste the chicken with juices in the roasting pan.
  • Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and roast until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Baste occasionally during roasting. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (80 degrees C). Remove the chicken from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.

SPICY HONEY GLAZED CHICKEN



Spicy Honey Glazed Chicken image

This is a simple worknight dish that will totally surprise you with flavor. It's great because every cook I know has all of these ingredients in their cupboards already! I got this recipe from a Cooking Light magazine and I serve it with pan fried broccoli and sweet hawaiian rolls. You can either use chicken breasts, or chicken thighs, and I recommend using boneless and skinless! This has only a medium spicy level, so just increase or decrease red pepper flakes to your taste... and enjoy!
