For honey-pecan sauce:

1 cup honey

1 stick butter

1/2 cup crushed or chopped pecans

For fried chicken:

1 to 2 cups oil for frying chicken

2 cups flour

1/2 tablespoon seasoned salt

1/2 tablespoon garlic powder

1/2 tablespoon pepper

1 whole chicken, cut up (2 legs, 2 thighs, 2 wings, 2 split breasts)

To make honey-pecan sauce: Heat honey over simmering water in a double boiler. Add the butter, and melt, stirring. Stir in pecans. Set aside.

To make chicken: Heat enough oil to immerse chicken pieces at least halfway in skillet or deep fryer to 350 degrees. Mix flour, seasoned salt, garlic powder and pepper in a paper bag. Add chicken pieces a few at a time, and shake well to coat with seasoned flour.

Fry chicken for 15 to 20 minutes or until done. Place chicken on plate, and ladle honey-pecan sauce over chicken.

Serves 4.
