Pecan Honey Glazed Fried Chicken Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Pecan Honey Glazed Fried Chicken Recipe). Nothing says 'south' like good fried chicken, but when pecan honey glaze is drizzled on top then it takes it to a whole new level. I was inspired when my husband and I visited a soul food restaurant, and I just had to come home and duplicate it. I must admit I think I hit the nail on the head - at least my family admits it. Enjoy!

Pecan Honey Glazed Fried Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

1 quart peanut oil for frying

or as needed

1 whole whole chicken

cut into 8 pieces

1 teaspoon seasoned salt

or to taste

2 eggs

beaten

2 cups self-rising flour

1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

1 cup butter

½ cup honey

1 cup chopped pecans

Meat and Poultry

Directions

Step 1

Heat peanut oil in deep skillet or deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Oil should be deep enough to cover chicken pieces halfway.

Step 2

Season chicken pieces on all sides with seasoned salt.

Step 3

Put beaten eggs in a large bowl. Mix flour salt and black pepper in a large paper bag.

Step 4

Dip seasoned chicken into beaten egg; place each piece into bag containing seasoned flour and shake to coat.

Step 5

Cook chicken in hot oil until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear about 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh near the bone should read 165 degrees F (75 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.

Step 6

Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. Whisk honey into melted butter; cook whisking occasionally until bubbles start to form about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low; simmer another 10 minutes. Fold pecans into butter mixture; cook until the pecans are hot 2 to 3 minutes. Drizzle over hot chicken pieces to serve.
