    “Finger-Licking Good! Make This Delicious Fried Chicken with Hot Honey Sauce in Your Own Home!”

    Fried Chicken with Hot Honey Sauce

    Ingredients:

    -4 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
    -1 cup buttermilk
    -2 cups all-purpose flour
    -2 teaspoons garlic powder
    -2 teaspoons smoked paprika
    -1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    -1 teaspoon ground black pepper
    -1 teaspoon salt
    -Oil, for frying
    -½ cup honey
    -2 tablespoons sriracha or hot sauce

    As a stay at home parent, I understand the need to come up with creative and delicious meals that appeal to both children and adults. Fried chicken is one of those classics that everyone loves – juicy, flavorful and crunchy! The addition of a hot honey sauce takes this fried chicken dish to the next level. It’s one of my family’s favorite recipes and I’m excited to share it with you.

    With this recipe, the key is in the marinade. Start by adding the buttermilk and chicken thighs together in a bowl or resealable bag. Use your hands to massage the buttermilk into the chicken for a few minutes until all the pieces are fully coated. Cover and set aside for at least an hour, or overnight in the refrigerator if you have time.

    Next make the coating by combining the flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt in a shallow bowl or plate. Take each piece of chicken out of the marinade one at a time and dip it into the flour mixture until fully coated. Place on a plate or baking sheet until all pieces are done.

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering (or 375°F). Carefully place each piece of chicken in the skillet and fry for about 6 minutes per side, flipping once in between. Remove from heat when golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should be 165°F). Place on a wire rack over paper towels to allow excess oil to drain off.

    Now it’s time for the sauce! In a small saucepan over low heat, mix together honey, sriracha or hot sauce. Whisk until combined and heated through – about five minutes. The hot honey sauce should be thick enough to coat the back of spoon but still pourable. Drizzle over fried chicken before serving.

    This fried chicken with hot honey sauce is always a hit with my family! Serve it up with mashed potatoes or coleslaw for an easy meal that everyone will love. It’s also perfect for summer BBQs or potlucks – simply double or triple up on ingredients as needed! Enjoy!

    Fried Tofu with Sweet and Spicy Sauce

    As a stay at home parent, I am always looking for easy and delicious recipes to make for my family. Fried tofu with sweet and spicy sauce is one of our favorites. Not only is it quick and easy to make, but it is also packed with flavor. The sweet and spicy sauce pairs perfectly with the crispy fried tofu, making it a great meal that everyone in my family enjoys.

    I always start by preparing the ingredients for the dish. I use firm tofu, which I cut into cubes before frying. I also mix together a simple sweet and spicy sauce which consists of honey, soy sauce, garlic, chili powder, and sesame oil. For added crunch and texture, I like to add some chopped peanuts to the sauce.

    Once all of my ingredients are prepped, I heat up some oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it’s hot. Then, I add the tofu cubes and fry them until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. This usually takes about five minutes per side. Once the tofu is cooked through, I remove it from the skillet and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.

    Next, I reduce the heat on my skillet to medium-low and add my sweet and spicy sauce to the pan. I cook it for 1-2 minutes until it starts to bubble before adding the fried tofu back into the pan and tossing everything together until everything is well coated in the sauce.

    Once everything is combined, I serve up the fried tofu with its sweet and spicy sauce right away while it’s still hot. My kids love this dish so much that they often ask for seconds!

    Ingredients:
    -1 block of firm tofu
    -1/4 cup honey
    -1/4 cup soy sauce
    -2 cloves garlic, minced
    -1 teaspoon chili powder
    -1 teaspoon sesame oil
    -2 tablespoons chopped peanuts
    -Vegetable oil for frying
