Pretzel Crusted Chicken Fingers

  • Prep 10 min
  • Total 35 min
  • Servings 4

Ingredients

  • Canola oil
  • 4 cups thin pretzels
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 lbs chicken tenders
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Steps

  • 1
    In a deep skillet, add about 1/4 inch of canola oil. Heat over just below medium heat for 15 minutes.
  • 2
    Add the pretzels to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until most of the mixture is pulverized (you'll want to leave some small-ish pieces). Transfer to a bowl.
  • 3
    Add the eggs to another bowl, and the flour to a third bowl. Season the flour with salt and pepper, and mix well.
  • 4
    Once the oil is hot, rinse the chicken tenders in cool water. Then, dredge into flour, then egg, then the pretzel mixture. Place into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden outside and cooked through. For best results, only cook two tenders at a time. Repeat these steps until all of the strips have been cooked.
  • 5
    Transfer the cooked tenders to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • 6
    Serve with your dipping sauce of choice.
