Steps:
- For the dipping sauce: Whisk together both mustards with the brown sugar, honey and lemon juice in a small bowl. Cover and set aside until ready to use.
- For the chicken fingers: Pulse the pretzels in a food processor until finely ground but pea-sized bits remain. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the ranch dressing mix or onion powder and garlic powder and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Beat the eggs with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in another medium bowl.
- Whisk the flour with 1 tablespoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a third medium bowl.
- Set a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet. Dredge 1 chicken piece at a time in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess, then dip into the egg to evenly coat, and finally evenly coat in the pretzel crumbs. Transfer to the prepared wire rack.
- Heat 1/2 inch oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Test the temperature of the oil by dropping a pinch of leftover flour in the oil. When it sizzles and rises to the top, the oil is ready for frying. Add half of the chicken to the skillet and fry until golden brown, flipping once, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer with tongs to a paper towel-lined plate. Season with a sprinkle of salt. Repeat the frying process with the remaining chicken.
- Serve the chicken fingers warm with the mustard dipping sauce.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheet with heavy-duty foil; place a cooling rack on one of the pans.
- 2. Pulse the pretzels in a food processor until finely ground. Pour the pretzel crumbs onto the baking sheet without the cooling rack. Add the panko and olive oil and stir to combine. Bake, stirring once, until the crumbs are slightly brown, about 5 minutes; allow the crumbs to cool.
- 3. Pour the flour onto a large piece of foil. Whisk together the buttermilk, 1/4 cup of the mustard, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Sprinkle the chicken thighs on both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set up a breading station, starting with the chicken and followed by the flour, the buttermilk mixture, the pretzel crumb mixture and the pan fitted with a rack.
- 4. Dredge each piece of chicken first in the flour, then in the buttermilk mixture and then in the pretzel crumb mixture, making sure to press the pretzel coating into the chicken; place the chicken pieces on the rack. Bake until the chicken is brown and crispy, about 35 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through cooking. Let cool 10 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through so they stay crisp on both sides.
- 5. While the chicken cooks, put the pineapple chunks with their syrup, the remaining heaping tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until the sauce is slightly thickened and resembles apple sauce, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
- 6. Place the chicken on a serving platter along with the pineapple dipping sauce. Be sure to serve the chicken in one even layer so the breading does not steam. Sprinkle both the chicken and the sauce with the chopped chives.
