Ingredients
Scale
2 pounds chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and baking powder. Mix well.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.
Dip each chicken thigh into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it in the flour mixture. Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the honey garlic sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and vegetable oil. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and drizzle the honey garlic sauce over the top. If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Return the chicken to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the sauce to caramelize slightly.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
Notes
For extra crunch, consider adding panko breadcrumbs to the flour mixture.
You can substitute chicken breasts for thighs if you prefer a leaner option. Adjust cooking time as needed.
