Korean Honey Butter Fried Chicken

Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and kosher salt. Create a 3-step breading station with the flour mixture, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs. Dredge each chicken leg in flour, egg, and panko, then transfer to a parchment-lined sheet tray. Chill breaded chicken for at least 15 minutes to let the breading set.
  2. In a saucepot on low heat, whisk together melted butter with cayenne pepper, clover honey, and kosher salt. Keep warm and whisk occasionally to keep butter and honey mixture from separating.
  3. Using a food processor, pulse chili crisp, potato chips, and vegetable oil together until chips are small, pea- sized pieces. Transfer to a lidded container and set aside.
  4. Deep fry breaded chicken for 5-8 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Serve fried chicken with a drizzle of warm spicy honey butter sauce and sides of potato chili crisp and pickle relish.
