Honey Garlic Crunch Chicken Tenders
A great way to make fried chicken. We like the sauce served on the side rather than poured over the tenders.
Ingredients
Chicken tenders:
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into 5-6 slices each
- 2 cups flour
- ½ cup panko bread crumbs
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon seasoning salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 eggs
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1½ tablespoon oil
- oil for frying
- green onions
Sauce:
- ½ cup honey
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 4 large garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 tablespoon finely diced ginger
- ½ teaspoon chili flakes
- ⅓ cup water
Directions
- Preheat oil to 375 degrees.
- Sauce: Combine sauce ingredients in a small pan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer about 15 minutes
- Chicken: In a bowl combine flour, Panko bread crumbs, and seasonings. Set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, 3 tablespoon water and 1½ tablespoons oil.
- Working with half of the flour mixture at a time (see note below) dip each piece of chicken in the egg mixture and then the flour. Dip it into the egg a second time and then the flour again to double coat it. Gently press the flour into the chicken. Shake off any excess. Place on a wire rack and continue until all chicken is coated.
- Fry chicken in small batches until crispy and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes (3 minutes per side). Drain on paper towels.
- Place cooked chicken in a large bowl, pour warm sauce over and toss well to coat.
- Top with green onions if desired and serve immediately.
