Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • peanut oil, for frying
  • 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/3 cup honey (Original recipes calls for 1/2 cup...but that's too sweet for us!)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. 1

    Cut chicken into long strips. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Place beaten eggs in a shallow bowl. Place flour in another shallow bowl (I like to season flour with 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, and cayenne for extra flavor).

  3. 3

    Place panko breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl and season with garlic powder, lemon pepper, cayenne, salt and pepper. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Dip the chicken strips in the flour, then the beaten egg, then dredge into seasoned panko.

  5. 5

    Fry chicken in batches in deep fryer preheated to 350 degrees for about 6-8 minutes. The chicken should be cooked through and golden brown.

  6. 6

    Remove to drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper once out of the fryer. Serve with honey mustard sauce.

  7. 7

    To make the honey mustard sauce: Mix together the mustard, honey, mayo, lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Will keep in fridge up to a week.
