Equipment

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Season chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Let sit for a few minutes.
  2. Coat each chicken breast in flour, dip in beaten egg, then cover with breadcrumbs.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  4. In a medium saucepan, combine blackberries, honey, and hot sauce. Simmer for 10-12 minutes until sauce thickens.
  5. Drizzle blackberry heat sauce over the fried chicken and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

For the best results, ensure oil is hot enough before frying and let the chicken rest post-fry for juiciness.
