Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
2 cups Cap'n Crunch cereal
½ cup panko bread crumbs
½ cup Wondra flour
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
vegetable oil
2 tablespoons Grey Poupon dijon mustard
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon honey

Steps:

  • Use a kitchen mallet or rolling pin to flatten each chicken breast to about 1 inch thick. Cut each chicken breast (lengthwise) into 4 to 6 long slices to make the chicken strips. Place chicken in a bowl, cover with buttermilk, and marinate several hours or overnight.
  • Using a food processor or blender, crush the Cap'n Crunch cereal into crumbs. You can also place the cereal into a resealable plastic bag, squeeze out all the air, and roll over it with a rolling pin until the cereal is crushed into crumbs.
  • Place the cereal crumbs in a bowl and add bread crumbs, flour, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
  • Remove chicken from buttermilk marinade and set aside. Whisk one egg into the remaining marinade. Add the chicken back in and stir well.
  • Coat each piece of chicken in the cereal crumb mixture.
  • Deep Fry Method: Fill a deep fry pan with 2 inches of vegetable oil. Heat to 375 degrees. Fry each chicken strip for 4 to 6 minutes or until golden brown. When fully cooked, place each chicken strip on a paper towel or rack to drain the oil. Air Fryer Method: Preheat air fryer to 350. Spray each side of the chicken strips with a little bit of cooking spray. Cook at 350 for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • For the Sauces: Mix ingredients together and let chill in the fridge at least one hour before serving.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups brown sugar and butter flavored crispy corn and oat breakfast cereal (such as Cap'n Crunch®)
¼ cup flour
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons buffalo wing sauce
1 pound chicken tenders
¼ cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Crush cereal in a food processor to make fine crumbs. Place crushed cereal in a shallow bowl.
  • Whisk flour, salt, and black pepper together in a shallow bowl. Beat eggs and Buffalo wing sauce together in a separate shallow bowl.
  • Gently press a chicken tender into the flour mixture to coat and shake off excess flour. Dip into the beaten egg, then press into crushed cereal. Gently toss between your hands so any crumbs that haven't stuck can fall away. Place coated chicken tenders in a single layer on a plate while coating the rest; do not stack. Repeat for remaining chicken tenders.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, cook each chicken tender in hot oil, turning once, until cooked though and golden brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer cooked chicken to a plate lined with paper towels.

CAP'N CRUNCH CHICKEN

This is a copycat to Planet Hollywoods Cap'n Crunch Chicken. The first time I made it, I burned it, and we could barely eat it. The second time I made it, it came out perfect and boy is it good! We enjoy ours with my homemade honey-mustard sauce. They make the best combo!
