PRETZEL-CRUSTED CHICKEN STRIPS

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup spicy brown mustard
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups crushed pretzel twists
1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
4 tablespoons salted butter
1/4 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Mix the brown mustard, mayonnaise and honey in a small bowl. Add 1 cup of the mixture to a shallow bowl. Reserve the rest for serving. Place the flour in another shallow bowl, then spread the pretzel crumbs on a plate.
  • Season the chicken tenders with the salt. Coat each chicken tender in flour, then dunk in the honey-mustard mixture and coat in the pretzels; set aside on a large plate.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until melted and hot. Add half of the chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a rack placed over a sheet pan. Repeat with the remaining butter, oil and chicken.
  • Serve alongside the reserved honey mustard.

Tips:

  • Preheat your oven: Make sure your oven is fully preheated to the desired temperature before you start cooking the drumsticks. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the drumsticks are cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh. The internal temperature should read 165°F (74°C).
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When baking the drumsticks, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can cook evenly. Overcrowding the pan will prevent the air from circulating and result in soggy drumsticks.
  • Use parchment paper: To make cleanup easier, line the baking sheet with parchment paper before you place the drumsticks on it. This will prevent the drumsticks from sticking to the pan and make it easy to remove them.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce: Pretzel-crusted drumsticks are delicious on their own, but they can also be served with a variety of dipping sauces. Some popular options include honey mustard, barbecue sauce, and ranch dressing.

Conclusion:

Pretzel-crusted drumsticks are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties, game days, or any other occasion. With their crispy pretzel coating and juicy, flavorful chicken, these drumsticks are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
