Crispy Pretzel Chicken With Honey Mustard Sauce Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Crush the pretzels in a food processor or bash up in a plastic bag using a rolling pin. Transfer pretzel crumbs to a plate. Season the chicken, toss in flour, dip into the egg, then roll in the pretzel crumbs. Place on a baking tray, drizzle over the oil and bake for 35 mins until crisp and tender.
• In a small bowl, mix the mustard, honey and vinegar. Reserve 4 of the chicken thighs for lunch. (You can use them in the Caesar salad with crispy chicken recipe, look at 'Goes well with...') Serve the remaining chicken with the sauce and green veg or salad and potatoes.

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.

• 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.
