Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and bread crumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each piece of chicken first into flour, then into the egg, and finally coat with bread crumbs. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Make the Glaze

    In a saucepan, combine honey, whiskey, and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and let cook for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded chicken pieces until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.

  6. 6

    Coat Chicken with Glaze

    Remove the chicken from the skillet and toss immediately in the honey whiskey glaze.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Chop the scallions and sprinkle over the glazed chicken bites. Serve with ranch dressing on the side.
