Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1 pound chicken tenders
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by patting the chicken tenders dry with paper towels. Season them generously with salt and pepper.
  2. In one bowl, add flour. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
Coating
  1. Dip each chicken tender first in the flour, shaking off the excess. Next, coat it in the egg, followed by the breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.
Frying
  1. In a large skillet, heat enough vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.
  2. Carefully place the coated chicken tenders in the hot oil. Fry them in batches for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Saucing
  1. In a small bowl, mix together honey and Sriracha until well combined.
  2. Remove the chicken tenders from the skillet and drain excess oil on paper towels. While they’re still hot, toss the tenders in the honey Sriracha sauce until well coated.
Serving
  1. Serve your Sweet Honey Sriracha Chicken Tenders hot, garnished with extra honey and Sriracha if desired!

Notes

For an extra crispy coating, double-dip the tenders in flour and breadcrumbs. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
