Steps:
- Pour enough oil into a tall heavy-bottomed pot so it comes about a third of the way up the sides. Heat the oil over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil registers 340 degrees F. Set a rack on a baking sheet, put it in the oven, and preheat to 200 degrees F.
- For the Sauce: Stir the preserves, soy sauce, ketchup, and ginger in a small microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on HIGH until the preserves melt, about 30 seconds. Stir in lemon juice and cool before serving.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Pour in the cold seltzer and whisk until batter just comes together; it should be lumpy.
- Pat the chicken very dry. Cut the chicken lengthwise into 1 by 3-inch strips. Season the chicken with the salt and pepper. Working in small batches, dip the chicken strips into the batter to coat evenly. Fry the chicken, turning once, until richly golden and crisp, about 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a rack in oven to keep warm while frying the remaining chicken.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Place the doritos in a food processor (or use a large resealable bag and rolling pin to finely crush the chips) and blitz until the chips become a fine crumb. Transfer the pulsed chips to a bowl. Add the flour and eggs to their own respective bowls, then begin breading the chicken. Dip each piece of chicken in the flour, then the egg, then the chip crumbs and toss around to coat evenly. Repeat for each piece of chicken, then transfer to a parchment lined baking tray. Bake for 14 - 16 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees.
- While the chicken bakes, start to make the 1UP sauce. In a food processor combine the mayo, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, salt, and blue cheese. Pulse well to combine evenly, then transfer to your serving bowl and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the hot sauce and melted butter. When the chicken bites are cooked, remove from the oven and toss in the hot sauce and butter. Top with freshly sliced chives and serve alongside the 1UP sauce.
- Enjoy!

- Tenderize the chicken: Pounding the chicken cutlets with a meat mallet or rolling pin will help tenderize them and make them more receptive to the marinade.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade will add flavor and moisture to the chicken. Be sure to use a flavorful combination of ingredients, such as olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and herbs.
- Cook the chicken properly: Cook the chicken over medium heat until it is cooked through. Overcooking will make the chicken dry and tough.
- Make the apricot sauce: The apricot sauce is a sweet and tangy sauce that complements the chicken perfectly. Be sure to use fresh apricots for the best flavor.
- Serve the chicken: Serve the chicken with the apricot sauce and your favorite sides, such as rice, potatoes, or vegetables.
