kcal: Approximately 550 kcal per serving

Ingredients:

For the Fried Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk (or milk)
  • Vegetable oil for frying

For the Hennessy Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup Hennessy or other cognac
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

For the Cheese Topping:

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a shallow bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and buttermilk (or milk) together.
  4. Dip each chicken breast into the flour mixture, coating it evenly. Shake off any excess flour, then dip the chicken into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.
  5. Return the chicken to the flour mixture and coat it again for a double coating.
  6. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes per side or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Transfer the fried chicken to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. In a small saucepan, combine the Hennessy, soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
  8. In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Slowly add the slurry to the Hennessy mixture, stirring constantly until the glaze thickens.
  9. Brush the Hennessy glaze over each piece of fried chicken, making sure they are fully coated.
  10. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese over each chicken breast.
  11. Place the cheese-topped chicken in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  12. Remove the Cheese with Crispy Hennessy Glazed Fried Chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Note: If you prefer a spicier glaze, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the Hennessy glaze.
