Pretzel-Crusted Chicken Fingers with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce image

Whenever I visit my family in Minnesota, I can't wait to get my hands on a bag of Dot's Homestyle Pretzels. They're coated in a top-secret seasoning mix that I crave! This recipe recreates the flavor of Dot's, using butter-flavored pretzels mixed with ranch seasoning, so now we can satisfy that craving year-round. The pretzel mix is the perfect coating for chicken fingers that are fried till crispy then served with a punchy-sweet dipping sauce.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/3 cup yellow mustard
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
3 cups plain or butter-flavored pretzels (about 6 1/2 ounces)
1 tablespoon ranch dressing mix or 1/2 teaspoon each onion powder and garlic powder
3 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound chicken tenders (7 to 8 pieces) or 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast cut into 7 to 8 strips
1 cup all-purpose flour
Vegetable oil, for frying

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.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings, 4 (4-piece) servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Vegetable oil, for frying
2 ¿3 cup apricot preserves
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons ketchup
6 slices unpeeled fresh ginger
1/2 a lemon, juiced (about 2 tablespoons)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons fine salt, plus more as needed
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups cold seltzer water
1 pound boneless, skinless, chicken breast halves (about 2 large breasts)

Steps:

  • Pour enough oil into a tall heavy-bottomed pot so it comes about a third of the way up the sides. Heat the oil over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil registers 340 degrees F. Set a rack on a baking sheet, put it in the oven, and preheat to 200 degrees F.
  • For the Sauce: Stir the preserves, soy sauce, ketchup, and ginger in a small microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on HIGH until the preserves melt, about 30 seconds. Stir in lemon juice and cool before serving.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Pour in the cold seltzer and whisk until batter just comes together; it should be lumpy.
  • Pat the chicken very dry. Cut the chicken lengthwise into 1 by 3-inch strips. Season the chicken with the salt and pepper. Working in small batches, dip the chicken strips into the batter to coat evenly. Fry the chicken, turning once, until richly golden and crisp, about 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a rack in oven to keep warm while frying the remaining chicken.

SESAME CHICKEN FINGERS WITH SPICY ORANGE DIPPING SAUCE



Sesame Chicken Fingers with Spicy Orange Dipping Sauce image

Chicken fingers! The ultimate finger food, perfect for dipping.ÂThe challenge is, how to make crispy tender chicken fingers without having to deep fry them? With this baked sesame chicken finger recipe we are first marinating the chicken tenders in buttermilk.ÂThen we dredge the tenders in a breadcrumb mixture with crispy panko breadcrumbs and sesame seedsÂthat have been browned and mixed with a little olive oil so they don't dry out in the oven.ÂWe bake the tenders while quickly mixing together a spicy sauce made with orange marmalade and sriracha. Not counting the marinating time (which you can do hours in advance if you want), the whole dish comes together quickly. It's kid-friendly, adult-friendly, and party-friendly. By the way, itÂtook us several tries to land on this particular recipe (my sweetheart can attest to the dry and tough rejects that even he didn't want to eat), and I couldn't be more pleased with the result. I hope you like it too!

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders
1/2 cup buttermilk (can sub a scant half cup of milk that has been mixed with 1 1/2 teaspoons of vinegar or lemon juice)
1 Tbsp orange marmalade
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 1/4 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup raw sesame seeds
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup sweet orange marmalade
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 teaspoon sriracha hot sauce
1 teaspoon seasoned rice vinegar

Steps:

  • Mix marinade ingredients (buttermilk, marmalade, soy sauce) in a medium bowl. Add the chicken tenders to the marinade and stir to coat completely with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour (or longer).
  • While the chicken is marinating, prepare the breading. Heat aÂmedium sized thick-bottomed skillet on medium high heat. Add the panko breadcrumbs to the dry hot pan and spread the breadcrumbs so they are in an even layer in the pan. Lower the heat to medium and stir frequently until the breadcrumbs begin to brown. Once you can see visible browning, stir in the raw sesame seeds. Continue to cook in the pan, stirring frequently until the mixture isÂa deep golden color. Remove from heat. Stir in the olive oil and the salt and stir until all of the breadcrumbs and sesame seeds are lightly coated with the oil.
  • Pre-heat oven to 400°F. Line a roasting with aluminum foil and place a baking rack on top. Brush or spray the rack with a little cooking oil. Place the toasted breadcrumb mixture in a shallow bowl for dredging. Remove the chicken tenders one at a time from the marinade Â(do not wipe off the marinade) and dredge them in the bread crumb mixture. Place them on the prepared rack on the roasting pan.
  • Bake chicken tenders at 400°F for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
  • While the chicken tenders are baking, prepare the dipping sauce. In a small bowl stir together the orange marmalade, soy sauce, sriracha hot sauce, and seasoned rice vinegar.

Sprig cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • Coat a grill rack or broiler-pan rack with cooking spray. Preheat the grill or broiler. In a cup, combine the chili powder, cumin, and salt. Cut two 1/2-inch-deep slashes in each side of the chicken tenders. Rub the spice mixture over the chicken, pressing it into the slits. Place the chicken in a baking pan and coat completely with cooking spray. Let stand for 10 minutes. In a food processor, combine the cilantro, parsley, almonds, garlic, chile pepper, and salt. Process until chopped. While the processor is running, add the lime juice and oil through the feed tube, stopping the machine once or twice to scrape down the sides of the container until the sauce is smooth. Pour the sauce into a bowl. Stir in the water, cover, and chill until ready to serve. Place the chicken on the prepared rack and grill or broil 6 inches from the heat, turning several times, for 15 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the thickest portion registers 170°F and the juices run clear. Serve with the sauce and garnish with the cilantro.
