Step 2: Place the flour, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a wide, shallow dish. Mix well until combined.
Step 3: Whisk the eggs and 1 tbsp water in another shallow dish.
Step 4: In the egg wash, dredge the chicken, then coat it in the flour mixture, coating all sides.
Step 5: In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken and sear for about 4 to 5 minutes per side until crispy and cooked through.
Step 6: In the honey garlic sauce, toss the chicken. Serve right away. Enjoy!
