Ingredients

For the Chicken:
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or tenders
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or an egg wash substitute)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs or crushed rice cereal
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
For the Honey Mustard Sauce:
  • ⅓ cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken
    In a bowl, combine the chicken with buttermilk. Let it marinate for 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours) in the refrigerator. This ensures tender, juicy chicken.
  2. Prepare the Coating
    Mix the flour, breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off, and coat each piece thoroughly in the mixture.
  3. Cook the Chicken
    • For Baking: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the chicken on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
    • For Frying: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until crispy and golden.
  4. Make the Honey Mustard Dip
    In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, and mayonnaise. Adjust the sweetness or tanginess to taste.
  5. Serve
    Plate the crispy chicken tenders and serve them hot with the honey mustard dip on the side.
