Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

Vegetable oil, for frying
1 1/3 to 2 pounds chicken tenders
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten with a splash of milk or water
1 cup plain bread crumbs
1 cup pecans, processed in food processor to finely chop
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated or ground
1 orange, zested
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup tangy barbecue sauce
1 navel orange, juiced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 hearts romaine lettuce, chopped
6 radishes, thinly sliced
6 scallions, trimmed and chopped on an angle

Steps:

Heat 1 1/2 to 2 inches of oil over medium high heat. Season chicken tenders with salt and pepper. Set out 3 shallow dishes. Place flour in 1 dish, eggs beaten with water or milk in a second. In the third dish, combine bread crumbs with ground pecans, nutmeg and orange zest. Coat tenders in batches in flour, then egg, then bread crumb mixture. Fry tenders in small batches 6 to 7 minutes. Drain tenders on paper towels.
Combine maple syrup, barbecue sauce and orange juice in a bowl. Whisk in oil and season with salt and pepper.
Combine romaine, radishes and scallions in a large salad bowl or on a serving platter. Toss with 3/4 of the dressing. Season with salt and pepper, to your taste. Top salad with pecan crusted chicken tenders and drizzle remaining dressing over top.
Beverage suggestion: serve cran-raspberry apple juice over ice and top with a splash of soda water.

Tips:

Choose fresh, plump pecans for the best flavor.
Use a smoker box or a grill pan with a lid to create the perfect smoky environment for the pecans.
Soak the pecans in water for 30 minutes before smoking to help them absorb the smoke flavor.
Add a variety of seasonings to the pecans before smoking, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder.
Smoke the pecans for 1-2 hours, or until they are fragrant and have a slightly smoky flavor.
Let the pecans cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
