Preparation

Step 1

Season chicken with 2 tablespoons Chicken Scratch; set aside.

Whisk egg, milk and hot sauce in a shallow bowl; set aside.

Combine remaining 1 tablespoon Chicken Scratch, flour and dry mustard in a shallow bowl; set aside.

Working in batches, dip seasoned chicken in egg wash then toss to coat in flour mixture. Place chicken on a cooling rack or plate lined with wax paper and refrigerate until ready to use. Allowing them to rest a bit will help the breading stick to the chicken tenders.

Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large cast iron skillet until temperature reaches 335-340 degrees. Fry the chicken until golden brown and crispy, turning once (about 5 minutes) then drain on cooling rack or paper towels.

Serve with honey mustard or your favorite dipping sauce. P.S.... I have it on good authority that Chick-fil-A Sauce is just 3 parts honey mustard and 1 part barbeque sauce mixed.
