Instructions
-
Prepare the chicken tenders:
Season the chicken strips with salt and pepper. Beat the egg in a shallow bowl. In another bowl, combine the flour and panko breadcrumbs. Dip each chicken strip into the egg, then coat evenly with the flour-panko mixture.
-
Fry until golden:
Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry the chicken tenders in batches for 4–5 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
-
Make the D’Bocas honey butter glaze:
In a clean skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the honey and D’Bocas Hot Sauce. Simmer for 1–2 minutes until warm and well combined.
-
Coat the chicken:
Add the fried chicken tenders to the glaze. Gently toss to coat each piece evenly with the sweet and spicy sauce.
-
Serve and enjoy:
Serve immediately with extra D’Bocas Hot Sauce on the side. Pairs perfectly with fries, coleslaw, or a fresh green salad.
💡D’Bocas Tip:
Garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions for a fresh finish. Want more heat? Add a few drops of D’Bocas Hot Sauce to the glaze for an extra kick of flavor and spice.
