Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
2 teaspoons honey
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut crosswise into 1-inch-wide strips
2/3 cup plain dried breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for rack
Coarse salt
3 tablespoons apricot jam
7 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
1 scallion, thinly sliced

Steps:

In a large bowl or resealable plastic bag, combine 1/2 cup buttermilk and honey. Add chicken, and refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to overnight, turning occasionally.
Heat broiler. Spread breadcrumbs on a plate. Lift chicken from buttermilk; dredge in breadcrumbs, patting them in. Lightly oil a rack large enough to hold chicken in a single layer; place rack on a baking sheet. Arrange chicken on a rack, and brush chicken with oil.
Broil 4 inches from heat source (without turning), until chicken is golden brown and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from oven; sprinkle with salt.
Meanwhile, prepare sauces: In a small bowl, stir together jam, 6 teaspoons lemon juice, and mustard. In a separate bowl, stir together blue cheese and remaining 1/4 cup buttermilk and teaspoon lemon juice; sprinkle with scallion. Serve sauces with chicken fingers.
