Copycat Chili's Chicken Crispers with Honey Mustard Dressing

Step 1

Make honey mustard sauce by combining ingredients in a small bowl and chill until needed.

Step 2

Heat shortening or oil in fryer to 350 degrees (*I used a heavy enamel pot to fry)

Step 3

Combine beaten egg, milk, chicken broth, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk for about 30 seconds to dissolve salt.

Step 4

Whisk in 1 cup self-rising flour. Let batter sit for 5 minutes.

Step 5

When you are ready to fry your chicken, coat each piece with dry flour, then dunk the chicken into the batter.

Step 6

Let the batter drip off of the chicken and lower it into the hot oil and fry for 7 to 9 minutes or until it is golden brown (depending on size of fryer, you should be able to fry 3-4 pieces at a time.)

Step 7

Drain fried chicken strips on a rack or paper towels for a minute or so and serve with the honey mustard dressing on the side for dipping.

Step 8

Serves 4 as an appetizer or 2-3 as an entree.
