Instructions

Step 1

Mix the seasoning blend in a small bowl. Pat chicken dry and sprinkle the seasoning. Mix well in a bowl to ensure all pieces are seasoned.

Step 2

Pre-heat a pan with enough oil to 350 degrees. Or, pre-heat a deep fryer to 350 degrees

Step 3

Set up dredge... 1 Bowl with the seasoned flour. One bowl with the whisked eggs. One bowl with the panko bread crumbs.

Step 4

Mix all of the sauce ingredients in a bowl. Whisk until smooth and let rest for flavors to develop (About 10 minutes).

Step 5

Dip each piece of chicken in the flour first, then move to the egg, then finally into the panko bread crumbs, ensuring all pieces are completely coated.

Step 6

Fry in batches at 350 degrees for 4-6 minutes until golden brown. Don't overcrowd so temp does not drop. Check temp before each batch.

Step 7

Toss or drizzle the sauce with the tenders. Finish with extra parmesan and parsley.
