Ingredients
- 500g chicken breast, cut into 12 strips
- 150g salted pretzels, finely crushed
- 60g all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 1 teaspoon sriracha or hot sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Fresh chives, chopped for garnish
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, and sriracha until smooth. Set aside half for dipping sauce.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: flour mixed with garlic powder, paprika, and pepper in the first; beaten eggs mixed with remaining honey mustard mixture in the second; crushed pretzels in the third.
Dredge each chicken strip in seasoned flour, then dip in egg mixture, and finally coat thoroughly in crushed pretzels, pressing firmly to adhere.
Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Cook chicken fingers in batches for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain briefly, then serve immediately with reserved spicy honey mustard sauce and garnish with fresh chives.
