Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken tenderloins
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon chicken seasoning, divided
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 cups cornstarch
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup mustard
  • 1/2 cup Dr. Pepper

  • 2 cups Red Gold® Ketchup Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce 20oz

  • 1 cup green onions, sliced for garnish

Instructions

Step one

In a large bowl add chicken tenders with egg, and 1/4 teaspoon each of onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, and chicken seasoning. 

Step two

In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour and cornstarch, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of seasonings and mix until well combined.

Step three

Coat chicken tenders with the dry mixture and lay on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes to allow the breading to adhere. 

Step four

In a deep fryer, heat 6-8 quarters of preferred oil to 375°F.  Fry the chicken tenders in small batches for 8-10 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.

Step five

In a small saucepan on medium heat, combine the butter, brown sugar, mustard, Huy Fong Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce Ketchup and Dr. Pepper.  Cook, stirring occasionally until the sauce is thickened.

Step six

Place chicken tenders on a wire rack before pouring the glaze over them and garnish with sliced green onions.  Serve immediately.
