It was a huge hit, my 10 year old boy had thirds and went back for more chicken. According to him this sauce is "heavenly". And my 14 year old girl gave them a "10 of 10, A+". Guess that's a good thing right?
These are easy to make, though they do take a little prep time but they're well worth the time. Recipe comes from the yummy blog Damn Delicious.
Asian Lemon Chicken Tenders
Source: Damn Delicious
1 cup vegetable oil
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup buttermilk
For the lemon glaze
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
To make the glaze, combine honey, soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, pepper and garlic powder in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 10-12 minutes.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste.
Working one at a time, dredge chicken in flour, dip into buttermilk, then dredge in flour again, pressing to coat.
Working in batches, add chicken to the skillet, 3 or 4 at a time, and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve immediately, drizzled with lemon glaze.
It's tonight's dinner! I'll report back with results!
