Description
A savory and sweet dish combining crispy chicken, fresh mango, and a delightful drizzle of hot honey, perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- Chicken thighs or breasts
- Salt and pepper
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup hot honey
- 1 mango, diced
- 2 cups rice (white or brown), cooked
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper, ensuring that the flavor seeps into the meat.
- Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and another with panko breadcrumbs mixed with a bit of cornstarch for extra crispiness.
- Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, dip it into the egg, and then coat it with the panko mix. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken until it turns golden brown and is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes on each side.
- Layer cooked rice, diced mango, and the crispy chicken in a bowl. Drizzle hot honey generously on top and garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
Notes
For extra crispy chicken, let the breaded chicken rest before frying. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
