Well Hello Honey-Brined Fried Chicken Breasts!

I have since used this recipe for larger dinner parties and even potluck dinners. All that I do is cut the chicken up into smaller portions, cook them following these directions, and then I put them on warm in a slow cooker. They will stay just fine in there for several hours. It makes the perfect entree and it gives people a little different take on traditional boneless, skinless, chicken breast. Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at All Recipes:

“The chicken had wonderful flavor was very moist and absolutely perfect served on greens. This is a keeper.”

There’s nothing worse than a dry chicken breast. You won’t have to worry about that with this recipe!

 

Ingredients

3 cups cold water

1/4 cup kosher salt

1/4 cup honey

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves

1/4 cup buttermilk

1 cup Gold Medal all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon McCormick’s black pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

1/2 teaspoon onion salt

cayenne pepper to taste

vegetable oil for frying

 

 

Instructions

Mix cold water, kosher salt, and honey in a large bowl; stir until salt dissolves. Add chicken breasts, and weigh them down with a plate to keep them completely submerged.

Cover entire bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Remove bowl from refrigerator; drain and dry chicken. Pour buttermilk over chicken in a large bowl. Set aside at room temperature for 15 minutes.

Combine flour, black pepper, garlic salt, onion salt, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl.

Coat each chicken breast in flour mixture until well covered on all sides; place flour-coated chicken breasts on a cooling rack to dry for 15 minutes.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cook chicken breasts until browned and no longer pink in the center, about 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Transfer chicken to a cooling rack; allow to cool for 5 minutes.
