Cheese-Flavored Honey and Garlic Chicken



Inspired from KFC's Crispy Cheese Chicken (wherein the fast-food restaurant used Clover Chips with cheese flavor for their chicken coating), I have come up with the same recipe with added twist: the chicken cuts are marinated in a bowl of honey and garlic marinade overnight. Next day, chicken pieces are fried in batches until golden brown and coated on grounded cheesy Clover chips (you can use gourmet cheese powder if Clover Chips is not available in your area).

Below are the following ingredients of the dish:

1 whole chicken, skinless and cut into serving pieces
1 cup gourmet cheese powder or grounded Clover Chips (cheese flavor)

For honey and garlic marinade:
5-6 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 cup honey
2 tbsp. soy sauce
dash of ground black pepper and salt

Procedure:
1. In a bowl, combine honey, garlic, black pepper, salt and soy sauce. Mix well.
2. Pour the marinade mixture over the chicken pieces and let it stay overnight.
3. The next day, fry marinated chicken pieces until golden brown. 
4. Coat fried chicken with gourmet cheese powder or cheese-flavored Clover Chips.
5. Serve immediately.
