Honey Garlic Pecan Chicken Recipes

HONEY PECAN CHICKEN

Steps:

• Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces. Place in a medium bowl and pour buttermilk on top. Refriegrate for 1 to 4 hours.
• Combine flour, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne in a shallow bowl.
• Drain off buttermilk from chicken and toss chicken pieces in flour mixture to coat. Let chicken pieces sit for 20 minutes.
• Pour 1/2 inch oil into a large pan. Heat oil until hot. It should sizzle when you drop a pinch of flour in it.
• Fry chicken just until browned. Remove to paper towels to drain. Place in a 9-inch square baking dish.
• In a medium saucepan, melt butter. Add honey, cayenne, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook and stir until thickened some. Stir in pecans.
• Pour honey mixture over chicken pieces. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Place the chicken in a large bowl. Add the buttermilk and hot sauce, then toss to combine. Allow to marinate 15 to 30 minutes.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour, pecans and seasoning salt. Mix well and set aside.
• Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over a medium heat until it reaches 375 degrees F.
• Place a small pan over a low heat and add the honey and butter. Allow the honey to warm and the butter to melt.
• Meanwhile, remove the chicken from the buttermilk a few pieces at a time, then add to the flour/pecan mixture, turning to coat thoroughly. Place on a plate. Continue with the remaining chicken until it is all coated.
• Cook the chicken in the skillet in batches, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crisp, about 4 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Add the chicken to a platter and drizzle over half of the honey butter. Garnish with the parsley. Serve with the remaining honey butter on the side for dipping.

SWEET GARLIC PECAN HONEY CHICKEN

Steps:

• 1. Oven: 450 Line a baking dish with aluminum foil and lightly coat with cooking spray or brush with olive oil. I used homemade pan grease (I use instead of cooking spray)
• 2. Take the whole garlic cloves and place on a napkin and put in microwave and microwave for 20 to 30 seconds. The cloves will now slip out of their skins and you can chop and mince as needed...careful they are hot hot.
• 3. In a small fry pan, saute chopped or minced garlic in the olive oil and butter till tender and then remove from heat.
• 4. Stir in brown sugar and add your spices. I would recommend a season or spice blend that you like for your first try at this dish.
• 5. Place the chicken breast in your prepared baking dish and cover with your garlic/brown sugar mixture. Salt and pepper to taste.
• 6. Bake, uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes depending on the size of your chicken breast..I use a meat thermometer, and when it registers 180 degrees, it is done.
• 7. I served this chicken dish with rice, peas and garlic bread. I had leftover macaroni salad also, but was too full to eat any, so I will have it the next day.
• 8. Cabela's spice blends can be purchased at their stores or over the internet..This Pecan Honey seasoning is my favorite.
