Double crunch honey garlic chicken breasts are crispy, golden-fried cutlets coated in a sweet and savory garlic glaze. This restaurant-style dish is easy to make at home and incredibly satisfying.

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced horizontally for 4 cutlets)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp water (for egg wash)
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar)
  • 1 tsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water (for slurry)

Instructions

  1. Slice chicken breasts horizontally to make thin cutlets.
  2. In a shallow bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  3. In another bowl, beat eggs with 2 tbsp water to make an egg wash.
  4. Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, then dip in egg wash, and coat again in the flour mixture. Press to adhere.
  5. Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Fry the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
  7. To make the sauce, sauté minced garlic in a small saucepan with a bit of oil until fragrant.
  8. Add honey, soy sauce, 1/4 cup water, and vinegar. Bring to a simmer.
  9. Stir in cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce thickens into a sticky glaze.
  10. Drizzle or brush the glaze over the hot chicken and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes or sriracha to the sauce.
  • Boneless chicken thighs can be used for a juicier alternative.
  • Bake or air-fry the coated chicken for a lighter version.
  • Let the dredged chicken sit for a few minutes before frying to help the coating stick.
  • Pair with rice, stir-fried vegetables, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
