Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, milk, 2 tablespoons salt, and 2 tablespoons pepper with a fork until smooth. In another large bowl, stir together the flour, 1/4 cup salt, 5 teaspoons pepper, garlic, and mesquite seasoning.
- Fill a large heavy skillet or wok halfway full with oil. Heat to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C). Use a fork to pick up one chicken strip at a time, and dip it into the egg mixture, then into the flour mixture, back into the egg mixture, and into the flour mixture again. Place coated strips into the hot oil to fry. Do not over crowd, just cook in batches. Once chicken is browned on one side, flip over, and brown on the other side.
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Butter one 12x20 inch glass baking dish, or two 9x13 inch baking dishes. Pour enough barbeque sauce into the dish to coat the bottom. Arrange fried chicken strips in rows in the prepared dish. Pour remaining sauce over the top.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until the sauce is caramelized onto the chicken.

Steps:
- Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Mix eggs and water together in a small bowl.
- Place some chicken strips in the flour mixture to coat, then gently shake to remove any excess flour. Coat strips in egg. Return to the flour mixture and coat again; repeat with egg mixture. Coat once more in the flour mixture, placing strips on a plate while you continue with remaining chicken.
- Let strips sit for 5 minutes to allow flour to set.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C); oil is ready if you drop some water in and it sizzles.
- Working in batches if needed, place strips in the hot oil. Cook for 8 minutes. Turn over and continue to cook until golden brown, no longer pink in the centers, and juices run clear, about 8 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Place strips on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

Steps:
- Place one sheet of plastic wrap on a clean cutting board (see Cook's Note). Put one chicken piece in the center of the plastic wrap and top with another sheet. Pound the chicken with the flat side of a meat mallet, starting in the center and working your way to the edges, until the chicken is 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Cut each chicken thigh into 3 even strips. Transfer to a shallow bowl. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
- Pour 1 cup buttermilk over the chicken. Marinate at room temperature for 20 to 25 minutes or overnight in the fridge if time allows.
- When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Pour about 1 inch of oil into a deep, heavy bottomed pot or Dutch oven. Heat over medium-high until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 to 375 degrees F.
- Stir together the 1/4 cup honey in a small bowl with as much hot sauce as you like (I use 1 tablespoon, but I like it spicy.) Set aside until ready to serve.
- Stir together the flour, paprika, cayenne, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 tablespoon pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the garlic powder and onion powder if using.
- Stir the remaining 1/3 cup of buttermilk into the flour mixture until it has a chunky consistency.
- Working with 1 piece at a time, dredge the chicken in the flour mixture so that each piece is fully coated and place on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
- Working in batches to avoid crowding the pot, add 3 to 4 pieces of the coated chicken and fry, undisturbed, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and fry until the crust is golden brown and the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the fried chicken strips to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet, season with a pinch of salt and hold in the warm oven. Check the oil temperature and adjust the heat as needed to bring it back to 350 to 275 degrees F, then repeat with the remaining chicken.
- Serve the fried chicken strips immediately with the hot honey.
Tips:
- Prepare the chicken strips properly: Ensure the chicken strips are evenly sized for uniform cooking. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps the coating adhere better.
- Create a flavorful coating: Use a combination of flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, celery salt, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper for the coating. Adjust the seasonings to your taste preference.
- Dredge the chicken strips thoroughly: Make sure the chicken strips are evenly coated with the seasoned flour mixture. This helps create a crispy outer layer.
- Fry the chicken strips in batches: Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken strips, as this can cause them to steam instead of fry. Fry the chicken strips in batches to ensure they get evenly cooked and crispy.
- Maintain the proper oil temperature: Keep the oil temperature between 350°F and 375°F (175°C to 190°C) throughout the frying process. Use a cooking thermometer to monitor the oil temperature accurately.
- Drain the excess oil: After frying, transfer the chicken strips to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. This helps remove excess grease and makes the chicken strips less oily.
- Make the honey BBQ sauce: Combine honey, ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Coat the chicken strips with the honey BBQ sauce: Once the honey BBQ sauce is ready, toss the fried chicken strips in the sauce to coat them evenly. You can adjust the amount of sauce depending on your preference.
