Nonstick cooking spray, for the wire rack
1 cup pecans
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons hot sauce
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard

This used to be a favorite recipe of me and my family. It is absolutely delicious! Unfortunately I found out that I have Celiac Disease and barley is now off of my menu! I no longer make this dish and I want someone else to enjoy it as much as we did.
