Lemon Pepper Honey Fried Chicken

Lemon Pepper Honey Fried Chicken is marinated in lemon and spices, then breaded and fried on the stovetop to golden, crispy perfection.

This Lemon Pepper Honey Fried Chicken is super easy to prep with simple seasonings, and a cornstarch and flour coating. Then you just fry the meat in oil on your stovetop for perfectly juicy meat and crispy skin. Lemon Pepper Fried Chicken is delicious enough after that, but then you also get the addition of sticky, honey lemon sauce. The sauce adds the perfect balance of tangy and sweet flavor to the fried chicken recipe.
