Pretzel Crusted Chicken Fingers

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.

  Transfer the cooked tenders to a paper towel-lined plate.

  Serve with your dipping sauce of choice.
