CHICKEN FINGERS WITH HONEY MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• In small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, Dijon and honey.Cover and refrigerate up to 3 days.
• Between sheets of plastic wrap, pound chicken with flat side of meat pounder or with rolling pin until 1/2-inch thick.
• Cut lengthwise on diagonal into 4 x 1-1/2-inch strips.
• In bowl, whisk eggs and garlic.
• I used Egg Creations to replace the eggs.
• In shallow bowl, combine cheese, bread crumbs, oregano, salt, pepper and paprika.
• One at a time, dip chicken strips into eggs, letting excess drip back into bowl. Dredge in cheese mixture, coating generously and pressing to adhere.
• Arrange on greased baking sheets; drizzle with butter.
• Bake in 425°F oven until golden, crispy and no longer pink inside, about 15 minutes. Serve with dipping sauce.

HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• For the Honey Mustard Chicken Tenders: In a large bowl, combine 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder in a large bowl. Add the buttermilk and honey and whisk until well combined. Add the chicken tenders, toss to coat, then let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. (Do not allow to sit longer, or the chicken will become too salty.)
• In a large, shallow dish (a 9x13-inch pan works well), combine the Panko breadcrumbs and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Drizzle the oil over the top, then toss to moisten.
• In a second shallow dish, whisk together the egg whites and mustard.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, then place an ovenproof wire rack on top of it. Coat the rack with cooking spray.
• Arrange the bowls in a line from left to right as follows: egg white dish; Panko breadcrumbs; baking sheet. Working with a few pieces of chicken at a time, with your left hand, remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess (this is the "wet" hand). Still with your left hand, dip the chicken into egg mixture, turning to coat all sides, then place in breadcrumb mixture. With your right hand (the "dry" hand), pat the chicken on all sides with the breadcrumbs, pressing them on lightly so that the chicken is well coated. Still with your dry hand, place the chicken on the baking sheet, leaving a little space between each. Repeat for remaining tenders.
• Bake the chicken until golden brown and the juices run clear, 15-20 minutes.
• While the chicken bakes, stir the dip ingredients together in a small bowl: Greek yogurt, Dijon, honey, and salt. Taste and add additional honey as desired. Serve chicken hot or at room temperature with the dip.

CRISPY CHICKEN TENDERS WITH HONEY MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut chicken into long strips. Set aside.
• Place beaten eggs in a shallow bowl. Place flour in another shallow bowl (I like to season flour with 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, and cayenne for extra flavor).
• Place panko breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl and season with garlic powder, lemon pepper, cayenne, salt and pepper. Mix well.
• Dip the chicken strips in the flour, then the beaten egg, then dredge into seasoned panko.
• Fry chicken in batches in deep fryer preheated to 350 degrees for about 6-8 minutes. The chicken should be cooked through and golden brown.
• Remove to drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper once out of the fryer. Serve with honey mustard sauce.
• To make the honey mustard sauce: Mix together the mustard, honey, mayo, lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Will keep in fridge up to a week.

HEALTHIER CRISPY CHICKEN FINGERS WITH HONEY MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400o F. Combine the chicken and the buttermilk in a shallow dish. Cover and chill for 15 minutes. Pulverize cereal in a food processor. You could put the cereal in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin, it just won't be as fine or evenly crushed. Spray a baking tray with cooking spray. Season the chicken well with salt and pepper. Dip each piece of chicken in the cereal to fully coat and arrange on the baking tray. Bake until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Leave the chicken on the baking tray to cool slightly, it will get crispier. While chicken is baking make the honey-mustard sauce by combining mustard and mayonnaise until smooth. Stir in honey.
