Instructions
Making Korean Honey Butter Chicken Tenders can be straightforward when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Pat dry the chicken tenders with a paper towel.
2. Make the Breading: In a bowl, mix flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Set Up Dipping Stations: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and buttermilk. In another bowl, place the panko bread crumbs.
4. Bread the Chicken: Dip each chicken tender first in the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat with panko bread crumbs. Ensure they are well coated.
5. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Ensure there’s enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
6. Fry the Chicken: Once the oil is hot, add chicken tenders to the skillet. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes on each side.
7. Prepare the Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add honey and soy sauce, stirring until fully combined and smooth.
8. Glaze the Chicken: Once the chicken tenders are cooked, remove them from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Pour the honey butter sauce over the tenders and toss gently to coat.
9. Add Garnishes: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for added flavor and presentation.
These steps make it easy to create an iconic dish that is bound to impress anyone who tries it.
