Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon paprika
2 eggs
2 pounds chicken tenders
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup soy sauce
3/4 cup honey
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Canola oil for frying
Instructions
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika.
In a second shallow dish, beat the eggs.
Coat each chicken tender first in the flour mixture, then dip in the beaten eggs, letting the excess drip off before coating again in the flour mixture.
Heat about 1/2-inch of canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Add the chicken tenders and fry for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden and cooked through.
Remove the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate.
In a small skillet, heat a small amount of oil, add the garlic, and sauté until just starting to brown.
Add the soy sauce, honey, and red pepper flakes if using, and heat until well blended, about 2 minutes.
Brush or drizzle the sauce over the fried chicken tenders.
