CAJUN STYLE CHICKEN TENDERS WITH HONEY MUSTARD SAUCE

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/4 pounds chicken tenders, cut into bite size pieces for nuggets if desired
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons Wild Bill's Meat Rub
1 teaspoon freshly ground black peppercorns (Tellicherry)
1 tablespoon Morton table salt
3 large eggs, at room temperature, beaten
1 tablespoon Louisiana Hot Sauce
1 cup all-purpose cornmeal
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup Dijon or whole-grain mustard
Olive oil, for drizzling (optional)
Vegetable oil cooking spray

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.  Spray a heavy baking sheet liberally with vegetable oil cooking spray.  Set aside.  Honey-Mustard Sauce: In a small serving bowl, mix together the honey and mustard until smooth.  Set aside.  Breading: In a flat bottom pan, mix together the flour, 1 tablespoon salt, black pepper and 1 teaspoon Wild Bill's Meat Rub.  In a second flat bottom pan, whisk together the eggs and hot sauce. In a third flat bottom pan, mix together the cornmeal, chili powder, 1 teaspoon Wild Bill's Meat Rub and cayenne pepper.  Dredge the chicken in the flour and then into the egg mixture. Allow any excess egg mixture to drip off and coat the chicken in the cornmeal mixture.  Arrange the breaded chicken in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and place in oven on center rack.   Bake for 10 minutes and turn pieces over gently and bake until golden and cooked through, about 10 minutes.  Arrange the chicken on a platter and serve the honey-mustard alongside.

YIELD: 3 servings of 2 chicken tenders each

Above chicken tenders baked on 01-16-15 and were outstanding.  They have a spicy kick to them and were too spicy for my bride but I could handle them ok.  My nose did start to get athletic but I enjoyed them very much and the honey mustard sauce actually cut the fire back a little on the chicken tenders.........grin if you must!

This recipe would work for catfish fillets if you wanted them spicy!
