Pretzel-Crusted Chicken Fingers with Honey Mustard Dip

Pretzel-Crusted Chicken Fingers
I don’t eat deep fried stuff anymore, or  limit them to a bite (which is usually of something my sister would be eating– one french fry, one shrimp, one Lays potato chip. I know I’m weird. Often times when I go out to eat with friends, the appetizer just inevitably ends up being deep fried and I’d be damned if I even request grilled shrimp over deep-fried shrimp because “nobody wants to eat grilled shrimps, Izza!”  In those heated moments, I question our friendship.

Pretzel Crusted Chicken Fingers
Though I have yet to convert my friends to grilled shrimps, I know for chicken, these pretzel crusted fingers will always be a winner.  My siblings scarfed these down in ten minutes. They’re a healthier alternative. Sure, I use pretzels but we can afford a few carbs because these are delicious and we can burn off later in the gym, okay? I won’t even start with the honey mustard dip because I want to let your taste buds enjoy that and also because this keyboard is ancient and hurting my fingers.Pretzel-Crusted Chicken Fingers

  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 cup flour or enough to coat the chicken strips
  • 1 large egg
  • 4-5 cups pretzels coarsely crushed

Honey Mustard Dip

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 114 yellow mustard dijon mustard works well too
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • salt and pepper to taste

  • Season chicken strips with salt, pepper and paprika.
  • Dredge each strip first in flour, then dip in egg and generously coat in the crushes pretzels.
  • Bake for no more than 15-16 minutes because chicken breast tends will dry up if left in the oven for too long.

Notes

  • Instead of baking, you can also shallow fry or even airfry. For airfrying, spray a generous coating of oil.

Oh man, I’ve made these three times now and I can’t get enough of them. Pretzel crust is an awesome idea — these turn out good and salty and crunchy, satisfying my fast food chicken tender cravings. The honey mustard dip is very tasty, too; they’ve also gone well with a copycat Raising Cane’s sauce.

Can’t wait to try more of your recipes! Thank you for sharing them!
