Copycat Honey Mustard Chicken Tenders Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oil to 350 degrees F.
• Cut the chicken breasts into long strips and set aside.
• Beat the 3 eggs in a separate bowl and measure the flour into another separate dish.
• Measure the panko into a pie plate or shallow bowl and season with garlic powder, lemon-pepper, cayenne, salt and pepper.
• Dip the chicken strips into the flour, the beaten egg and then dredge them into the seasoned panko.
• Fry in the hot peanut oil for 6 to 8 minutes, until golden brown, and remove to a paper towel lined sheet tray. Serve with Honey Mustard sauce.
• Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. The sauce can be held in the refrigerator for 1 week.

Steps:

• Place flour in a shallow dish. Mix honey and Dijon mustard in another shallow dish. Place bread crumbs in a third shallow dish.
• Season chicken tenders with salt and pepper. Coat with flour then dip into honey-mustard mixture, and finally into the bread crumbs, pressing bread crumbs into chicken.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet. Cook chicken until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully turn tenders over, add remaining 1 tablespoon butter, and cook until chicken is fully cooked and golden brown, an additional 2 to 3 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Place flour in a shallow bowl, and egg in a second one; season both with salt and pepper. Pulse cereal and oil in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Season with salt and pepper; transfer to a third shallow bowl.
• Coat chicken: first in flour, shaking off excess; then with egg, letting excess drip off; and finally in cereal mixture, pressing to help it adhere. Place on a baking sheet, and bake until light golden brown and cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes, turning over halfway through.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together sour cream, mustard, and honey; season with salt and pepper. Serve tenders and vegetables with creamy honey mustard on the side.

Steps:

• Mix eggs, honey mustard, and pepper together in a bowl. Mix flour, chicken seasoning, cayenne, red pepper flakes, seasoning salt, and salt together in a second bowl. Mix bread crumbs and garlic salt together in a third bowl.
• Dredge chicken tenders in the egg-honey mixture, then in the flour mixture, then back in the egg-honey mixture, and finally in the breading mixture. You want a medium coating on each tender.
• Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Fry tenders in the hot oil until breading is dark and crispy and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Preheat over to 425 degrees.
• Place flour in a shallow bowl, dressing in a second, and combine remaining ingredients in a third shallow bowl.
• Rinse and dry chicken tenders.
• Dredge in flour, honey mustard and completely coat in crumb mixture.
• Place on broiler pan.
• Bake for 25-35 minutes or until juices run clear.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Place flour in a shallow bowl; and the egg in a second one, season both with salt and pepper.
• Pulse cereal and oil in a food processor until fine crumbs form, season with salt and pepper and transfer to a third shallow bowl. (I used a blender).
• Coat chicken: first in the flour, letting excess drip off; then in the egg, letting excess drip off; and lastly in the crumb mixture, pressing the mixture onto chicken well so that it will adhere.
• Place on cookie sheet and bake until light golden brown and cooked through, about 10 to 15 minutes; turning them over halfway through.
• FOR THE DIPPING SAUCE: In a small bowl, mix together sour cream, mustard, and honey; season with salt and pepper. Serve with chicken tenders.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together Happy Belly Honey Mustard, Greek yogurt, Happy Belly Large Eggs, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper until smooth. Add the chicken tenders and toss to coat completely in the honey mustard mixture. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours, or overnight.
• In a separate medium bowl, stir together the garlic powder, Happy Belly Onion Powder, cayenne, Happy Belly Celery Salt, remaining 2 teaspoons of black pepper, and the Happy Belly Paprika.
• Add the pretzel twists to a food processor and pulse into coarse crumbs. Transfer about half of the pretzel crumbs to the bowl with the spice mixture. Pulse the remaining pretzel crumbs until finely ground, then add to the bowl with the spice mixture and stir to combine.
• Heat 2 inches of Happy Belly Vegetable Oil in a large, high-walled skillet over medium heat until the temperature reaches 365-375°F (185-190°C). Line a plate with paper towels.
• Toss the honey mustard chicken tenders, a few at a time, in the pretzel crumbs until fully coated.
• Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, fry the chicken tenders in the hot oil for 8-10 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown all over. Transfer to the paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Assemble the lunchboxes: Pack the honey mustard pretzel chicken tenders with a side of Happy Belly Honey Mustard for dipping, a few Amazon Fresh Brand Carrots and Celery Sticks, and Amazon Fresh Brand Aplenty Sea Salt Pita Chips.
• Enjoy!
