Honey Jalapeno Chicken Tenders Recipes

HONEY MUSTARD-PANKO CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly coat a large baking dish with oil.
• Prepare chicken tenders: Mix panko, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and paprika together in a medium bowl. Mix mustard, honey, and olive oil together in a small bowl.
• Slice chicken in half horizontally to form thin fillets. Cut each fillet into strips. Dip chicken strips in the mustard mixture, then coat in the panko, and place in the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tenders are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes, turning over halfway through.
• Prepare sauce: Mix garlic, mustard, honey, oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Serve sauce with chicken tenders.

BAKED HONEY CHICKEN TENDERS RECIPE

Steps:

• Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
• Arrange chicken tenders in single layer in pan.
• In a medium-sized bowl, mix together honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and dried onions. Pour mixture over chicken. Cover pan with plastic wrap and let marinate in fridge for about an hour (I let mine marinate for about 3 hours), turning chicken once, about half way through marinating time.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Remove chicken from fridge, discard plastic wrap, and bake chicken for about 20 minutes.
• Remove chicken from oven, turn chicken pieces over, top with sliced green onions, and return to oven and bake for 10 more minutes (or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear).

HOT HONEY FRIED CHICKEN STRIPS

Steps:

• Place one sheet of plastic wrap on a clean cutting board (see Cook's Note). Put one chicken piece in the center of the plastic wrap and top with another sheet. Pound the chicken with the flat side of a meat mallet, starting in the center and working your way to the edges, until the chicken is 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Cut each chicken thigh into 3 even strips. Transfer to a shallow bowl. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
• Pour 1 cup buttermilk over the chicken. Marinate at room temperature for 20 to 25 minutes or overnight in the fridge if time allows.
• When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Pour about 1 inch of oil into a deep, heavy bottomed pot or Dutch oven. Heat over medium-high until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 to 375 degrees F.
• Stir together the 1/4 cup honey in a small bowl with as much hot sauce as you like (I use 1 tablespoon, but I like it spicy.) Set aside until ready to serve.
• Stir together the flour, paprika, cayenne, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 tablespoon pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the garlic powder and onion powder if using.
• Stir the remaining 1/3 cup of buttermilk into the flour mixture until it has a chunky consistency.
• Working with 1 piece at a time, dredge the chicken in the flour mixture so that each piece is fully coated and place on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
• Working in batches to avoid crowding the pot, add 3 to 4 pieces of the coated chicken and fry, undisturbed, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and fry until the crust is golden brown and the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the fried chicken strips to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet, season with a pinch of salt and hold in the warm oven. Check the oil temperature and adjust the heat as needed to bring it back to 350 to 275 degrees F, then repeat with the remaining chicken.
• Serve the fried chicken strips immediately with the hot honey.

HONEY-DIJON CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Place flour in a shallow dish. Mix honey and Dijon mustard in another shallow dish. Place bread crumbs in a third shallow dish.
• Season chicken tenders with salt and pepper. Coat with flour then dip into honey-mustard mixture, and finally into the bread crumbs, pressing bread crumbs into chicken.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet. Cook chicken until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully turn tenders over, add remaining 1 tablespoon butter, and cook until chicken is fully cooked and golden brown, an additional 2 to 3 minutes.

HONEY JALAPEñO CHICKEN SLIDERS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the chicken burger: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, salt, pepper, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and onion. Mix well until evenly distributed.
• Lightly grease a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
• Press half of the chicken mixture into an 11 x 10-inch (23 x 21 cm) rectangle in the center of the prepared baking sheet. Evenly sprinkle the cheese over the chicken patty and layer the jalapeños on top. Top with the remaining chicken mixture, spreading evenly.
• Bake the chicken burger for 30-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
• While the burger cooks, make the sauce and slaw. For the sauce, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon, and honey in a small bowl.
• For the slaw, toss together the green and red cabbage and carrots in a medium bowl. Add the salt and rice vinegar and toss well.
• Using a serrated knife, gently cut the slider buns in half to create a large top and bottom bun for the burger. Spread the bottom bun with the some of the sauce.
• Using a spatula, transfer the burger patty to the bottom bun. Top with the slaw, drizzle with the remaining sauce, and cover with the top bun.
• Make the glaze: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, honey, and sesame seeds. Brush the glaze over the top bun.
• Slice between each row of buns, creating 12 sliders.
• Serve warm.
• Enjoy!
