Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced into strips)
  • 2 cups cornflakes (crushed)
  • 1/2 cup hot honey
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 2 tbsp hot sauce
  • 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Slice the chicken breasts into tender-sized strips for even cooking.
  3. Set up three bowls: one with seasoned flour (flour, salt, pepper), one with beaten eggs, and another with crushed cornflakes.
  4. Dredge each chicken strip in flour, then dip in egg, and coat with cornflakes, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Fry each tender for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Transfer the fried tenders to the prepared baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes to ensure juiciness.
  7. In a small bowl, mix hot honey with hot sauce and lemon juice for the zesty drizzle.
  8. Serve the tenders drizzled with sauce and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
