Best Sesame Pecan Chicken Tenders With Apricot Dipping Sauce Recipes

APRICOT DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan.
• Heat to boiling, stirring frequently.
• Cool and store in refrigerator.
• I'm guessing at the number of servings, but it does make about 3/4 cup of sauce.

EASY SESAME CHICKEN WITH APRICOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix the first six ingredients in a bowl.
• Beat the eggs with the water and soy sauce in another bowl.
• Dip the chicken into the egg mixture, then coat with the bread crumb mixture.
• Bake, uncovered at 375 degrees for 40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
• Combine the sauce ingredients in a saucepan and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve with the chicken.

CHICKEN FINGERS WITH APRICOT DIPPING SAUCE

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.

STICKY SESAME CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Line a large shallow baking pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl, add the garlic, salt, soy sauce, hoisin, honey, oil and a pinch of cayenne. Add the chicken tenders to the sauce and turn to coat.
• Arrange the tenders in a single layer on the baking pan, turning over once, until cooked through, about 20 minutes.
• Sprinkle the chicken with the toasted sesame seeds and onions and serve.

WON TON WRAPPED CHICKEN WITH APRICOT DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• For the chicken: In a small bowl combine the brown sugar, salt, garlic, sherry, cornstarch, vegetable oil, and soy sauce. Mix the chicken squares with the marinade; cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
• For the wrappers: Lay the won ton wrappers in a single layer. Place 1 square of the marinated chicken in the center of the won ton wrapper. Dab a small amount of marinade on each of the corners. Fold the won ton over the chicken by bringing each of the corners to the center of the square, overlapping slightly, like a squared envelope.
• Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet until hot. Cook the won ton wrapped chicken for about 2 minutes per side, turning once.
• For the sauce: In a small bowl, blend the apricot preserves, mustard and teriyaki sauce. Serve 4 won tons on each plate with the dipping sauce in the center.
