Ingredients
  • 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 pounds boneless skinless chicken
  • Salt and white pepper to taste
  • 1 large egg, separated
  • 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) coconut oil
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 level cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons honey*
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons plain oil for frying
  • Additional honey for dribbling
Instructions
  1. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and salt and pepper them on both sides.
  2. Put egg yolk in a large bowl. Reserve the egg white in a small bowl.
  3. Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan and remove from heat to cool slightly. While it’s cooling, whisk the egg yolk and milk beverage together, then add the cooled melted oil, flour, baking powder, honey, and salt. Whisk together until just barely combined; some lumps may remain. Beat the egg white by hand or with an electric mixer until peaks form. Gently fold the egg white into the batter with a spatula.
  4. Heat oil in a large heavy skillet. Dip chicken pieces one by one in the waffle batter to cover both sides and add to skillet. Continue with remaining chicken pieces and batter, in batches if necessary. Cook 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
  5. Serve hot with extra honey if desired.
Notes
* For quick release, spray measure spoon lightly with cooking spray before measuring honey.
