Crispy Honey Fried Chicken

A super-easy fried chicken recipe with the perfect touch of sweetness.

Everyone loves some crispy fried chicken. And we’ve all become familiar with drizzling honey overtop to get that salty-sweet hit. Here, however, in the new cookbook Chicken Shack, that sweet honey kick comes from within. Chicken pieces are marinated with honey and seasonings, then dredged in a combination of bouillon granules and flour to coat. The result? Crispy and delicious. Serve with creamed corn.
