Honey Mustard Chicken Bites Recipes

CHICKEN BITES WITH HONEY MUSTARD

Steps:

• 1. In a bowl, mix milk, eggs and 1 tablespoon of salt. Add chicken pieces and cover. Marinate at least 4 hours, but better if overnight.
• 2. In another bowl, mix flour, powdered sugar, 4 teaspoons salt and 1 tablespoon pepper. Add some chicken pieces to a large Ziploc bag, add some flour mixture and shake to coat. Fry in batches, 375 degrees deep fryer or large Dutch oven. It only takes 3 or 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels or wire rack.
• 3. For honey mustard sauce, mix the mayo, mustard, garlic powder, vinegar, honey and paprika in a small bowl. Cover and put in fridge. I usually make this the night I marinate the chicken so it has a chance to blend together.

BAKED HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste, and place in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. In a small bowl, combine the honey, mustard, basil, paprika, and parsley. Mix well. Pour 1/2 of this mixture over the chicken, and brush to cover.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Turn chicken pieces over and brush with the remaining 1/2 of the honey mustard mixture. Bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.

HONEY FRIED CHICKEN BITES

Steps:

• Combine 1/2 cup buttermilk, 1/3 cup pickle juice, 2 tablespoons hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken thighs, seal the bag and shake to evenly disperse. Refrigerate and let marinate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
• Whisk together the honey, chopped pickles and the remaining 2 tablespoons each pickle juice and hot sauce in a large bowl until well combined.
• Whisk together the flour, paprika, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Pour in the remaining 1/4 cup of buttermilk and use your fingers to work it in, making the flour shaggy.
• Fill a large, wide Dutch oven or pot with about 2 1/2 inches of oil, then add the shortening. Attach a deep-fat fry thermometer to the side of the pot and bring to 350 degrees F over medium heat. Line a large baking sheet with paper towels and a wire rack if desired and set aside.
• Drain the chicken in a colander but do not pat dry. Transfer the chicken to the flour mixture, making sure to press the pieces into the flour to fully coat. Set on a plate. (If you notice the chicken getting soggy in any spots as it sits, dredge it in the flour mixture again.)
• When the oil is at 350 degrees F, very carefully slide the breaded chicken into the oil and fry until deep golden brown with an internal temperature of about 170 degrees F, about 4 minutes. Remove to the lined baking sheet and sprinkle with a little salt.
• Put the chicken in the bowl with the honey mixture and toss to coat. Serve in paper cones with toothpicks for skewering the chicken bites.
