Method

Preparation of Chicken Finger Filets

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs. Dip each chicken tender first in the flour mixture, then in the eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the chicken tenders in the oil and fry until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Preparation of Dipping Sauce

  1. 3

    Mix the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine honey, hot sauce, soy sauce, and garlic powder. Mix well and set aside.

Preparation of Buffalo Sauce

  1. 4

    Make the Buffalo Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the hot sauce and garlic powder until well combined.

Preparation of Dressing

  1. 5

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, buttermilk, garlic powder, dill, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
