Recipe

Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 40 mins Ready Time: 55 mins


• heat peanut oil in deep skillet or deep-fryer to 375 degrees f (190 degrees c). oil should be deep enough to cover chicken pieces halfway.
• season chicken pieces on all sides with seasoned salt.
• put beaten eggs in a large bowl. mix flour, salt, and black pepper in a large paper bag.
• dip seasoned chicken into beaten egg; place each piece into bag containing seasoned flour and shake to coat.
• cook chicken in hot oil until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes per side. an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh near the bone should read 165 degrees f (75 degrees c). transfer chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
• melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. whisk honey into melted butter; cook, whisking occasionally, until start to form, about 5 minutes. reduce heat to low; simmer another 10 minutes. fold pecans into butter mixture; cook until the pecans are hot, 2 to 3 minutes. drizzle over hot chicken pieces to serve.
