Make Honey Paprika Chicken

This is one of those easy backup entrées to keep in mind for those weeknights when you're craving some sweet and savory fried chicken goodness but don't feel like getting out the fryer. It only requires a handful of ingredients and about 10 minutes of your time. Your reward is an addictively good chicken that's glazed with caramelized honey and smoked paprika, and just a hint of refreshing tartness from the lemon juice.

While I love the meaty aroma of smoked paprika, if you don't have any, this recipe works equally well with other seasonings such as lemon zest, garlic, or ginger, allowing you the flexibility season with whatever you have on hand. If you want to go with a more Asian flavor profile, try marinating the chicken in soy sauce instead of salt.

The potato starch renders the edges of the chicken crispy, while also allowing it to hold onto the sweet honey and paprika sauce, giving each piece a stunning lacquer coating. If you can't find potato starch, you can substitute all-purpose flour, though it won't achieve the same level of crispness.
