Instructions
- Prepare the Honey Glaze: Start by whisking together honey, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes in a bowl. This mixture will be the key to adding a sweet and spicy flavor to your fried chicken.
- Cook the Glaze: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is warm, pour the honey mixture into the skillet.
- Thicken the Sauce: Continue to cook the sauce, stirring occasionally. Allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes, or until it thickens to a glaze consistency. This glaze will beautifully coat the chicken, adding a rich, glossy finish and an explosion of flavors.
- Apply to Chicken: Once your fried chicken is ready, brush this glaze over it. The heat from the chicken will help the glaze adhere and seep into the crispy coating, offering a delicious sweet and spicy taste.
- Serve with Mac & Cheese: Pair your glazed fried chicken with a creamy serving of buttermilk mac & cheese. The smooth, rich taste of the mac & cheese perfectly complements the zing of the glazed chicken, making for a truly satisfying meal
