2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup flour
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
peanut oil, for frying
honey mustard sauce

1/3 cup honey (Original recipes calls for 1/2 cup...but that's too sweet for us!)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt and pepper, to taste

1
Cut chicken into long strips. Set aside.
2
Place beaten eggs in a shallow bowl. Place flour in another shallow bowl (I like to season flour with 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, and cayenne for extra flavor).
3
Place panko breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl and season with garlic powder, lemon pepper, cayenne, salt and pepper. Mix well.
4
Dip the chicken strips in the flour, then the beaten egg, then dredge into seasoned panko.
5
Fry chicken in batches in deep fryer preheated to 350 degrees for about 6-8 minutes. The chicken should be cooked through and golden brown.
6
Remove to drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper once out of the fryer. Serve with honey mustard sauce.
7
To make the honey mustard sauce: Mix together the mustard, honey, mayo, lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Will keep in fridge up to a week.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
