Ingredients

15 pc chicken parts

Marinade

2 ½ teaspoon salt

2 teaspoon sugar (optional)

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon onion powder

¼ cup ginger

8 garlic cloves

1 whole onion

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 tablespoon ground allspice

Seasoned flour

3 cups flour

1 tablespoon black pepper

2 tablespoon onion powder

2 tablespoon smoked paprika

1 tablespoon salt

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Honey sauce

1 stick salted butter

1 cup honey

1 tablespoon smoked paprika

2 cloves garlic shredded

4 tablespoon shredded ginger

Instructions

  • clean, wash and dry your chicken parts

  • in a blender, blend all the marinade ingredients

  • pour onto the chicken, massage it in, and leave it in the refrigerator overnight. The longer it marinates, the better; I did what Morris Time Cooking recommended and let mine marinate for a week, two days in the refrigerator, and the remaining five days in the freezer.

  • Defrost and allow the chicken to come to room temperature or almost room temperature

  • heat oil to 300f

  • make the seasoned flour mix

  • Toss and press seasoned chicken into the seasoned flour, shake off any excess, dip in plain water then back into the flour, shake off excess

  • fry in the 300-degree oil for 20 minutes. If you deep fry no need to flip; I shallow fried, so I flip my chicken after 10 minutes.

  • Warm some butter, add honey paprika garlic, and ginger

  • As each pc of chicken is fried, dip into the honey butter sauce and set on a cooling rack to drain

  • serve immediately with extra sauce on the side. It's best to keep this butter sauce warm.
