Ingredients

For the Chicken:

1 pound chicken pieces (wings, drumsticks, or thighs)

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ cup buttermilk

Vegetable oil for frying

For the Honey Garlic Glaze:

¼ cup honey

2 tablespoons soy sauce

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water

For Garnish:

Chopped green onions or chives

Instructions

In a bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

Dip chicken pieces in buttermilk, then dredge in the seasoned flour, shaking off excess.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken pieces for 10–12 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.

Transfer cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

In a saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, garlic, and apple cider vinegar. Bring to a simmer.

Stir in the cornstarch-water mixture and cook until thickened (about 2–3 minutes).

Place chicken on a serving plate and drizzle with the honey garlic glaze.

Garnish with chopped green onions or chives. Serve immediately.

Notes

Add chili flakes or sriracha for a spicier glaze.

For a healthier option, bake the chicken at 400°F for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Boneless chicken tenders or breasts work well for quicker cooking.

Substitute gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.

Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, steamed veggies, or pickled sides for a complete meal.
