Honey Pecan Chicken Strips Recipes

Steps:

• Pound chicken with a meat mallet to 1/2-in. thickness. Sprinkle with seasonings., In a large nonstick skillet, heat butter over medium heat; brown chicken on both sides. Cook, covered, until chicken is no longer pink, 6-8 minutes, turning once. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with pecans. Cook, covered, until chicken is glazed, 2-3 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Mix mustard, honey and lemon juice; brush onto both sides of each chicken breast. Place in single layer in shallow pan.
• Combine nuts, bread crumbs and margarine. Sprinkle over chicken; press lightly into chicken to secure.
• Bake 20 to 25 min. or until chicken is done (165°F).

Steps:

• Dredge the cutlets in flour, shaking off excess.
• Heat two tablespoons margarine in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
• Add the cutlets and brown on both sides, about 5-6 minutes.
• Stir together the remaining tablespoon margarine, honey and pecans.
• Add to the skillet, stir gently.
• Cover and simmer gently for 7-8 minutes.
• Remove cutlets to a serving platter, pour sauce over and serve.

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, combine the pecans, sesame seeds if desired, paprika, salt and pepper. Place flour and buttermilk in separate bowls. Coat chicken with flour, dip in buttermilk, then coat with pecan mixture., Place in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Drizzle with butter. Top each with three pecan halves. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 30-35 minutes or until a thermometer reads 170°.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425.
• Line baking sheet with foil.
• Sprinkle pecans and cornflakes in wax paper.
• Mix honey and soy sauce, dip chicken in mixture, then coat with crumb mix. Place on baking sheet.
• Bake approximately 5-7 minutes on each side.

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.
