Best 4 Pretzel Chicken With Dijon Or Honey Mustard Dressing Recipes

PRETZEL-CRUSTED CHICKEN FINGERS WITH HONEY MUSTARD DIPPING SAUCE

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.

PRETZEL CHICKEN WITH DIJON OR HONEY MUSTARD DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°.
• In a blender or food processor, pulse the hard pretzels until coarsely ground with the cayenne (optional); you are going for a mixture that has both coarse and ground pretzels. Transfer to a shallow bowl or plate and set aside.
• In a clean blender or food processor, add oil, mustards, water and vinegar (and optional cayenne) and blend until smooth. Season the dressing with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Add half of the dressing to another shallow bowl or container, add chicken and coat with dressing. Dredge the chicken in the pretzel crumbs to cover all sides and transfer to a rack that is placed on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Place chicken in the upper third of the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until cooked through. Slice or serve whole and either warm or at room temperature with the remaining mustard dressing.

PRETZEL HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
• Line a large baking sheet or spray a wide shallow baking dish.
• Mix Dijon mustard and honey in a small bowl. Divide the Dijon mustard in half, and keep one half aside to serve as a dipping sauce.
• Place pretzels in a zip-lock bag, close, and crush into smaller pieces. Pour in a shallow dish or plate.
• On a cutting board, slice larger meat pieces into smaller portions of chicken cutlets for kids. Dip each of the skinless breasts into the honey mustard, then dip in the crushed pretzel pieces. Discard any honey mustard used to coat the meat.
• Lay coated pretzel crusted pieces on a parchment lined baking sheet in a single layer or in a wide shallow baking dish.
• Bake 45 minutes at 374 degrees Fahrenheit, until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees on a meat thermometer.
• Serve with honey-mustard extra sauce.
