Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 chicken breasts, about 1 lb
2 eggs
2 scallions
1 tablespoon thyme
1 tablespoon parsley
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 1/2 cups cracker crumbs, saltine
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 -3 cups oil, for frying (veg oil)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • I used a bone in chicken breast which I got the strips from, but you're free to use boneless chicken breast if you'd like to save on time. Remember to wash the strips with the juice of a lime or lemon and cool water, then drain dry.
  • Chop (finely) the scallions, thyme and parsley. Then add it to the bowl with the cracker crumbs and give it a good stir. I know this step is a bit strange to my Caribbean readers as we're seasoning the bread crumbs and not the chicken as we would traditionally do.
  • Cut the chicken into 1/4 inch strips (don't fuss with being even), wash, drain and set aside. Crack both eggs into another bowl and toss in the black pepper and salt and give it a whisk. We now have the chicken cut into pieces, the seasoned crumbs and eggs. It's time to set up a batter and frying station. We'll need the veg oil in a deep pan (I used a small wok so the oil doesn't splatter onto the stove while frying) on med/high heat, a plate with the flour, the seasoned crumbs, the chicken strips, egg wash and have a paper towel lined plate or basket to drain off the excess oil when the chicken strips are done cooking.
  • Take a piece of chicken and dust it in the flour, then into the eggs (make sure it's covered in the eggs mix) and drain off the excess egg and roll in the seasoned bread crumbs. Do about 4-5 of these so once you start adding to the hot oil, you'll have a few to go in at the same time.
  • Your oil should be hot by now, so gently place each strip inches Flip after a couple minutes and keep an eye on them. If you find that they're browning too fast, turn your heat down a bit. It takes about 5-7 minutes to fully cook and have that lovely golden brown color. Drain on the paper towels and continue until all the chicken strips are cooked. Sprinkle (while hot) with a little sea salt (not mentioned in the ingredient list).

HONEY-MUSTARD CHICKEN TENDERS



Honey-Mustard Chicken Tenders image

The combination of honey and mustard has been around since ancient Egypt and Rome, and midcentury American cooks used it in any number of dishes, from baked chicken to glazed ham. But it wasn't until the 1970s and '80s, when restaurants started pairing the zesty sauce with breaded pieces of boneless chicken, that it became wildly popular. As a coating for chicken, honey mustard not only tastes great, but the acidity in the mustard helps keep the meat juicy. For hot honey mustard chicken tenders, add 1/2 teaspoon cayenne to the honey mustard. For an even quicker dinner, do steps 1 and 2 up to a day ahead. (Refrigerate the chicken and store the toasted panko at room temperature.) Eat the tenders dipped into barbecue sauce, hot sauce, ketchup, or - you guessed it - more honey mustard.

Categories     dinner, poultry, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup neutral oil (such as grapeseed or canola)
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or tenders
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil. Add the panko and oil to the sheet pan, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, then stir with a fork until evenly moistened. Shake into an even layer. Toast in the oven, stirring with the fork halfway through, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Pick up the parchment and use it to funnel the toasted panko into a shallow bowl or pie plate. Set aside to cool. (Reserve the lined sheet pan.)
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the honey and mustard. Pat the chicken dry, then pound with a mallet or heavy skillet into an even thickness (about ⅓-inch thick). Slice lengthwise into 1-inch-thick strips. Cut any long strips in half crosswise. (If using chicken tenders, no need to pound or slice.) Season with salt and pepper, then add to the honey mustard and toss to combine.
  • Working with one strip at a time and removing dripping honey mustard, add the chicken to the panko mixture and use your fingers to pack the panko onto all sides of the chicken. (To avoid a big mess, designate one wet hand for touching the chicken and one dry hand for pressing in the panko.) Transfer to the lined sheet pan and repeat.
  • Transfer to the oven and bake, removing from the oven to flip halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the panko is browned, 10 to 15 minutes.
