Nutty sweet chicken...yum. Found this in a magazine a long time ago and have been making it ever since. I think its my husband's favorite dish ever. It's even good cold the next day! Ingredients:
6 pounds chicken pieces |
4 cups buttermilk |
1 cup self-rising flour |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt |
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1 cup honey |
2 sticks butter |
1/2 cup pecans, coarsely chopped |
oil, for frying |
Directions:
1. Wash chicken, pat dry. Pour buttermilk into ziplock bag. Add chicken. Refrigerate 1 1/2 hours.
2. Drain chicken. Combine flour, salt, garlic powder and cayenne. Dredge chicken in mixture, shaking off excess. Let chicken stand 20 minutes at room temperature on a wire rack.
3. Melt butter in small saucepan over low heat. Stir in honey and bring to boil. Add pecans and simmer glaze 15 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, heat 1/2 - 3/4 oil in electric skillet to 375. Add chicken (in batches; do not crowd) and fry until crisp, golden brown and cooked through, about 7 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Arrange on platter. Pour glaze over. Serve immediately.
