These are tender, crunchy, oniony and then sweet with the Island dipping sauce. They are perfect for a summer luau, or any other celebration. You may think you are at a tropical resort, minus sand and surf!!
Ingredients:
1 cup FRENCH'S® French Fried Onions
1 cup FRENCH'S® Honey Mustard
1.5 lb Chicken tenders
2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
2 Eggs
2 cup Cooking oil
1 cup Pineapple preserves
1/3 tsp Curry powder
Directions:
Heat vegetable oil in a nonstick pan to medium/high heat.
Season chicken tenders with salt and pepper and set aside.
Prepare breading mix by combining Panko breadcrumbs and French's onions in a shallow baking dish, careful to break up any large onion pieces. (You want the onions to be the same consistency as the Panko crumbs.)
Prepare Island dipping sauce by mixing 1 cup French's honey mustard, 1 cup pineapple preserves and 1/2 teaspoon Curry powder.
Mix eggs and water in shallow bowl.
Taking a few strips at a time, dip strips in egg mixture (shaking off excess egg) and press into breading mixture coating each tender thoroughly. Fry chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 6 to 7 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
Transfer tenders to serving platter along side of dipping sauce and serve.
Serving note: Tossing black sesame seeds on top of tenders makes them look and taste even more festive and appetizing.
