Fried Chicken with Pecan-Honey Glaze

This chicken is absolutely delicious!  The self-rising flour gives the skin an extra crunch,while the glaze is simply divine.  Enjoy!
Ingredients:
-8 chicken thighs, skin-on, bone-in
-2 eggs, beaten
-salt
-pepper
-garlic powder
-oil for frying
-2 cups self-rising flour
-1 cup butter
-1/2 cup honey
-1 cup roughly chopped pecans
Directions:
Heat oil on medium-low heat.
Score chicken thighs.  Season on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.  Dredge through beaten eggs, then through flour, shaking off any excess.  Place in hot oil (do not increase the temperature).  Cover and cook for about 10 minutes on each side, or until chicken is cooked through and the skin is nice and golden brown.  Drain on paper towels.
While chicken is cooking, make the glaze.  Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.  Whisk in the honey and mix well.  Bring to a simmer and add the pecans.  Let it simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Pour over hot chicken and enjoy!
