A souvenir from my NYC travels...
My daughter lives in the hipster Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, which also happens to be one of the foodiest neighborhoods in Brooklyn. She loves to share her food findings with me so one of our walks took us to the Bedford Cheese Shop (229 Bedford Ave at N. 4th Street).
And while it’s easy to drool over the cheese, bread and charcuterie selections, she took me into this shop for one reason: Mike’s Hot Honey.
Mike’s Hot Honey is honey infused with chili peppers, locally made in Brooklyn. So when in Brooklyn...
What to do with this funky honey when I get back to Ohio? When my kids were little, they liked to dip their chicken nuggets in honey, so why not? Fried chicken with a little sweet and heat...thank you very much.
Chicken Nuggets
Ingredients
Vegetable oil, for frying
8 boneless skinless chicken thighs
2 eggs
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
Directions
Line a sheet tray with a wire cooling rack. Slice chicken into 2-inch pieces. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cayenne, salt and black pepper to taste. In a paper bag, shake together salt, pepper, flour and cornstarch. Dip the chicken in batches, first in egg mixture, then in the flour mixture and shake to coat. Set on a wire rack and let sit 10 minutes.
Carefully place chicken in hot oil and fry until golden and crispy, 5 to 8 minutes.
