PRETZEL CHICKEN WITH DIJON OR HONEY MUSTARD DRESSING



Pretzel Chicken With Dijon or Honey Mustard Dressing image

I love pretzels with mustard and this recipe really shows off that wonderful pairing. It is a great chicken recipe that yields a crispy and flavorful crust and tender juicy meat. Depending on the flavor you want to experience you can use Honey Mustard or Dijon. To ensure a crisp crust, it's imperative to use thick, hard pretzels, like sourdough or Salzstangen. WINE: A fruity wine with some sweetness, like a German Riesling, makes a nice counterpoint to the salty pretzel, and works even better as a complement to pretzels and Dijon mustard. This choice works well with the Honey Mustard also as it will make your wine seem drier than it really so a Riesling will be a nice balance. I chose a sweet 2004 St. Urbans-Hof Riesling which paired nicely. If you want a wonderful taste sensation try a 2001 Langwerth von Simmern Erbacher Marcobrunn Spatlese Riesling that is not quite as sweet.

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes     Pretzel Recipes

Time 1h50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup Dijon mustard
¼ cup honey
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 cup warm water (100 to 110 degrees F)
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons canola oil
5 quarts water
¼ cup baking soda
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
coarse sea salt to taste

Steps:

  • Whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, and yellow mustard in a small bowl, and store in the refrigerator while preparing pretzel sticks.
  • Mix yeast and brown sugar in a small bowl; add warm water, and whisk until sugar dissolves. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Mix flour and salt together in a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment. Add canola oil and gradually pour in the yeast mixture, kneading until smooth and silky, 4 to 5 minutes. If the dough is very sticky, knead in more flour.
  • Shape dough into a ball and transfer to a large greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes.
  • Punch down the dough and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Flatten into a rectangle and cut into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a stick about 7 inches long. Place sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper; let rest uncovered for about 25 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Pour about 5 quarts of water in a large, deep pot; stir in baking soda. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Carefully place pretzel sticks in the simmering water in batches for 30 seconds, flipping after 15 seconds. Remove from water and let drain on paper towels.
  • Transfer the sticks back to the baking sheet. Brush lightly with butter and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature with the honey mustard dipping sauce.

Provided by Gabriela Rodiles

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/3 cup yellow mustard
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
3 cups plain or butter-flavored pretzels (about 6 1/2 ounces)
1 tablespoon ranch dressing mix or 1/2 teaspoon each onion powder and garlic powder
3 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound chicken tenders (7 to 8 pieces) or 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast cut into 7 to 8 strips
1 cup all-purpose flour
Vegetable oil, for frying

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.

Tips:

  • To achieve crispy and evenly cooked chicken, ensure the oil is heated to the correct temperature before adding the chicken. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 165°F (74°C).
  • For a flavorful pretzel coating, crush the pretzels into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin. This will help the coating adhere to the chicken better.
  • For a tangy and creamy dipping sauce, whisk together Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, sour cream, and lemon juice. Adjust the ingredients to your desired taste preference.
  • If you prefer a sweeter dipping sauce, mix honey mustard, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard. You can also add a touch of brown sugar for extra sweetness.
  • Serve the pretzel chicken immediately after cooking, while it's hot and crispy. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives for an appetizing presentation.

Conclusion:

Pretzel chicken is a delightful and versatile dish that combines the savory flavors of pretzels with tender chicken. Whether you choose the tangy Dijon or the sweet honey mustard dipping sauce, this dish is sure to satisfy your taste buds. With its crispy pretzel coating and juicy chicken, it's a perfect appetizer or main course for any occasion. So, gather your ingredients, fire up your kitchen, and indulge in the deliciousness of pretzel chicken!
