Honey Mustard Pretzel Coated Chicken Fingers Recipes

Steps:

• For the dipping sauce: Whisk together both mustards with the brown sugar, honey and lemon juice in a small bowl. Cover and set aside until ready to use.
• For the chicken fingers: Pulse the pretzels in a food processor until finely ground but pea-sized bits remain. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the ranch dressing mix or onion powder and garlic powder and 1 teaspoon salt.
• Beat the eggs with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in another medium bowl.
• Whisk the flour with 1 tablespoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a third medium bowl.
• Set a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet. Dredge 1 chicken piece at a time in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess, then dip into the egg to evenly coat, and finally evenly coat in the pretzel crumbs. Transfer to the prepared wire rack.
• Heat 1/2 inch oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Test the temperature of the oil by dropping a pinch of leftover flour in the oil. When it sizzles and rises to the top, the oil is ready for frying. Add half of the chicken to the skillet and fry until golden brown, flipping once, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer with tongs to a paper towel-lined plate. Season with a sprinkle of salt. Repeat the frying process with the remaining chicken.
• Serve the chicken fingers warm with the mustard dipping sauce.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together Happy Belly Honey Mustard, Greek yogurt, Happy Belly Large Eggs, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper until smooth. Add the chicken tenders and toss to coat completely in the honey mustard mixture. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours, or overnight.
• In a separate medium bowl, stir together the garlic powder, Happy Belly Onion Powder, cayenne, Happy Belly Celery Salt, remaining 2 teaspoons of black pepper, and the Happy Belly Paprika.
• Add the pretzel twists to a food processor and pulse into coarse crumbs. Transfer about half of the pretzel crumbs to the bowl with the spice mixture. Pulse the remaining pretzel crumbs until finely ground, then add to the bowl with the spice mixture and stir to combine.
• Heat 2 inches of Happy Belly Vegetable Oil in a large, high-walled skillet over medium heat until the temperature reaches 365-375°F (185-190°C). Line a plate with paper towels.
• Toss the honey mustard chicken tenders, a few at a time, in the pretzel crumbs until fully coated.
• Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, fry the chicken tenders in the hot oil for 8-10 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown all over. Transfer to the paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Assemble the lunchboxes: Pack the honey mustard pretzel chicken tenders with a side of Happy Belly Honey Mustard for dipping, a few Amazon Fresh Brand Carrots and Celery Sticks, and Amazon Fresh Brand Aplenty Sea Salt Pita Chips.
• Enjoy!

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Pound/flatten chicken breasts until about 1/4 inch thick - and here's an easy way to pound a chicken breast: put it in a Ziplock bag first, then flatten with the mallet or whatever you're using. It keeps splatters at a minimum. (Flattening the breasts makes them even more tender!).
• Combine mustard, mayonnaise, honey, cayenne pepper, garlic, green onion, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Set half of mixture aside to be used as dipping sauce.
• Coat chicken completely in remaining mustard mixture, and then dredge in pretzel crumbs.
• Place coated chicken on baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
