Ingredients

2 lbs thin chicken cutlets or boneless chicken breasts
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
12 oz beer
Oil for frying

For the hot honey

¼ cup honey
2 teaspoons hot sauce

Instructions

In a large bowl whisk together flour, cayenne, garlic powder, salt, pepper and beer. Mixture should be thick but pourable. Let mixture rest for 20 minutes.
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, 12 oz beer
If using whole chicken breasts, carefully slice each breast in half horizontally. If necessary, pound to an even thickness. The more uniform the chicken cutlets, the more evenly they will fry. The thinner the chicken cutlets, the quicker they will fry.
2 lbs thin chicken cutlets or boneless chicken breasts
Heat about ¾ inch of oil in a heavy bottomed skillet to 325°F. Dip chicken in beer batter mixture to fully coat and allow excess to drip off. Carefully place each battered piece into the skillet. Do not over crowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.
Oil for frying
Fry for 12-15 minutes, turning once until chicken is cooked through. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with a cooling rack to allow excess oil to drip off.
To prepare the hot honey, whisk together honey and hot sauce
¼ cup honey, 2 teaspoons hot sauce
Brush each fried chicken cutlet with a generous amount of hot honey. Serve on your favorite bun.
