Method
- Slice the chicken breasts in half or into thin pieces, then beat them flat to an even thickness.
- Season some flour with herbs, spices, salt and pepper. Beat 2 eggs and season lightly. Mix breadcrumbs with a little grated parmesan.
- Set up three plates: seasoned flour, beaten eggs, and the parmesan breadcrumbs.
- Dredge each piece of chicken: flour (both sides, shake off excess), then egg, then breadcrumbs. Repeat for all pieces.
- Let the breaded chicken rest for 10 minutes while you heat 1β2 cm of neutral oil in a pan over medium heat.
- Fry 1β2 cutlets at a time (depending on pan size) for about 4 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Drain on a rack or paper towel.
- For the hot honey sauce: melt butter in a small pan, add 1 cup honey, 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp Scotch Bonnet Encona sauce. Simmer briefly, then add chopped parsley and black pepper.
- Toss or brush the fried chicken cutlets in the hot honey sauce and serve immediately.
Notes
Resting matters. Give meat a few minutes off the heat so juices settle.
