How to Make Neely's Crispy Panko Chicken Tenders And Honey Mustard Sauce

  1. Cut 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch thick strips and set aside.
  2. Beat 3 large eggs in a shallow bowl.
  3. In a separate shallow dish, place 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour.
  4. In a pie plate or shallow bowl, combine 2 cups panko bread crumbs with 1 tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp lemon pepper, ¼ tsp cayenne pepper, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper.
  5. Dredge each chicken strip in the flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat thoroughly in the seasoned panko.
  6. Heat about 1 inch of peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (approximately 350°F).
  7. Fry chicken tenders in batches for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Remove chicken tenders from skillet and place on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  9. **Make the Honey Mustard Sauce:** In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup Dijon mustard, ½ cup honey, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
  10. Serve chicken tenders immediately with honey mustard sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
