Ingredients

6 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 teaspoons vinegar
2 teaspoons sesame oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
½ cup plain flour
1 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoons garlic powder
2 eggs
1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs
¼ vegetable oil
2 chicken breast halves, cut in half butterfly style or pounded to ¼ inch thick and cut in half widthwise

Method

1. In a small mixing bowl stir together honey, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, sesame oil, and garlic. Set aside.

2. In a shallow bowl or pie plate, whisk together flour, salt and garlic powder. In a separate dish, beat eggs together. In a third dish, add panko crumbs. Dredge each chicken piece in flour mixture, then eggs and then panko crumbs, pressing crumbs slightly to adhere.

3. Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium high heat. Cook until chicken is golden browned on both sides and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. Remove from pan and set aside.

4. Using tongs and a wad of paper towels, wipe out the pan. Return pan to medium high heat and pour in honey garlic mixture. Simmer mixture, stirring frequently, until reduced and slightly thickened, 1-3 minutes and remove from heat. Add chicken back to the pan and turn to coat both sides of each piece with sauce. Serve immediately.
