Recipe: Southern Fried Chicken Strips with Honey Mustard

SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN STRIPS WITH HONEY MUSTARD

4 boned and skinned chicken breast halves
1/3 cup flour
1 teaspoon fried chicken seasoning
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1 teaspoon garlic and onion powder
2 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 pinch red pepper
2 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, divided use
FOR THE HONEY MUSTARD:
1/4 cup Dijon or whole-grain mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon cider vinegar

Cut the chicken across the grain into 1/2 inch wide strips

In a plastic bag, combine flour, parsley, paprika, salt, black pepper and cayenne. Add the chicken strips and shake to coat lightly.

In a large skillet, warm 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-heat until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken strips in one layer and cook, turning frequently, until cooked through and golden for about 7 minutes. Drain the chicken on a paper towel.

In a small bowl, combine the mustard, honey and vinegar with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil.

Serve the chicken with the honey mustard on the side.
