Ingredients:
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions:
-
Prepare Honey Mustard Sauce:
Combine honey and Dijon mustard in a bowl. For optimal flavor, prepare this sauce a day ahead to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully. -
Prepare Chicken:
Cut the chicken breasts into strips, ensuring they are of similar size for even cooking. -
Coat Chicken:
In a shallow bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, salt, and pepper (or your preferred chicken spice) until well combined. This will be used to coat the chicken. -
Dip Chicken:
Dip each chicken strip into the milk, ensuring it is fully coated. -
Coat with Flour Mixture:
Roll the milk-coated chicken strips in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated on all sides. -
Prepare Skillet:
Heat 1/4 cup of oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough for frying. -
Fry Chicken:
Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet, carefully place the coated chicken strips into the hot oil. Fry each batch for about 3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Add more oil as needed when frying subsequent batches. -
Drain and Serve:
Once cooked, transfer the fried chicken fingers to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. -
Serve:
Arrange the chicken fingers on a serving platter and serve them hot with the prepared honey Dijon mustard sauce for dipping.
