Buttermilk Fried Chicken Fingers with Honey Dijon Dipping Sauce
These chicken fingers are not your average. I used the spices and method from my
Perfect Buttermilk Fried Chicken recipe. Crispy and crunchy with the most delicious dipping sauce!
For the Dipping Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 3 Tbsp. Dijon Mustard
- 3 Tbsp. Honey
- 1/2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- Combine all ingredients and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- For the Chicken Fingers:
- 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into approx. 4" long x 1" wide strips
- 2 Tbsp. kosher salt, divided
- 2 tsp. plus 1 Tbsp. black pepper
- 1-1/2 tsp. paprika
- 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. onion powder
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp. cornstarch
- Canola oil (for frying)
Pound chicken strips into 1/2" thickness.
Whisk 1 Tbsp. salt, 2 tsp. black pepper, paprika, cayenne, garlic powder and onion powder in a small bowl. Season chicken strips with spices. Place in a medium bowl and cover and chill for 1 hour.
Whisk buttermilk, egg and 1/2 cup water in a medium bowl. Whisk flour, cornstarch, remaining 1 Tbsp. salt and remaining 1 Tbsp. pepper in a shallow bowl.
Pour oil into a 10-12" cast iron skillet to a depth of 1/2". Heat oven medium-high heat until temperature reaches 350 degrees F.
Dip chicken in buttermilk mixture, allowing excess to drip back into bowl. Dredge in flour mixture; shake off excess. Place 4 or 5 pieces of chicken in skillet. Fry, turning once until golden brown and chicken is cooked through- approx. 2-3 minutes per side. Remove chicken and transfer to a cooling rack.
Serve with Honey-Dijon Dipping Sauce
ENJOY!
