Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken tenders
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (e.g., sriracha)
Instructions
Prepare three shallow bowls for dredging. In the first bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.
In the third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels. This helps the coating stick better.
Dredge each chicken tender in the flour mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated. Shake off excess flour.
Dip the floured chicken tender into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Finally, coat the chicken tender in the panko and Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs. Set aside on a clean plate.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan or deep skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place the coated chicken tenders into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the fried chicken tenders to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
While the chicken tenders are resting, prepare the spicy honey mustard. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, honey, Dijon mustard, and hot sauce until well combined.
Serve the crispy chicken fingers warm with the spicy honey mustard dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!
