Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound chicken tenders
  • 1 cup pretzel crumbs about 3 cups crushed pretzels
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or olive oil for baking

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking spray or brush it with olive oil.
  2. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the eggs.
  4. In a third bowl, place the pretzel crumbs.
  5. Dip each chicken tender first into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the pretzel crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  6. Arrange the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray or drizzle with a little olive oil for extra crispiness.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
  8. While the chicken is baking, mix together the honey and Dijon mustard in a small bowl to create the dipping sauce.
  9. Serve the chicken fingers hot with the honey mustard sauce on the side.
