# Instructions:
01 -
Place chicken breasts between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even 1/2 inch thickness or slice horizontally to halve.
02 -
Sift together flour, salt, black pepper, ground ginger, nutmeg, thyme, sage, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Divide the mix in half if desired and store one portion for future use.
03 -
Whisk together eggs and water to create an egg wash.
04 -
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dip each piece into the dry mix, then into the egg wash, and back into the dry mix, pressing firmly for good adherence.
05 -
Heat canola oil in a skillet to cover the bottom (about 1.5 cm deep). Keep the heat just below medium. Fry chicken for around 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on a wire rack.
06 -
In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil and cook minced garlic over medium heat until softened. Add honey, soy sauce, and black pepper. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, ensuring it does not foam over. Cool slightly before use.
07 -
Dip fried chicken pieces in the honey garlic sauce and serve immediately with noodles or rice.
08 -
Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F) with a baking sheet inside. Follow the same coating process. Place coated chicken on the hot, lightly oiled baking sheet with some spacing. Spray tops with vegetable oil. Bake for 15 minutes, flip, and bake for another 10-15 minutes until crispy and golden brown. Dip in sauce and serve.
