Chicken Tenders with Dipping Sauces Recipe

American · Main course · 27 min total

Crispy, golden chicken tenders paired with two easy homemade dipping sauces: a creamy honey mustard and a tangy barbecue sauce. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or game day snack.

Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken breast tenders
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil for frying
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

1. In a shallow dish, combine flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In another dish, beat eggs. In a third dish, place panko breadcrumbs.
2. Pat chicken tenders dry. Dredge each tender in flour mixture, then dip in egg, and coat with panko, pressing lightly to adhere.
3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook tenders in batches, 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). Drain on paper towels.
4. For honey mustard sauce: mix mayonnaise, honey, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl.
5. For barbecue sauce: combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce in a small saucepan. Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let cool.
6. Serve chicken tenders with both dipping sauces.

Tips

• For extra crunch, use seasoned panko or add 1/4 cup grated Parmesan to the breadcrumbs.
• Leftover tenders can be reheated in an air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes.
• Sauces can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to a week.
