We love fried chicken.....I mean who doesn't?!?! But what makes this chicken special is the glaze its dipped in. The chipotle honey sauce is sweet with just a little kick. I recommend marinating your chicken earlier in the day before you start to fry. The buttermilk marinade will make your chicken moist and give it a wonderful crunch when fried.
Ingredients
- 12 chicken tenderloins
- 6-8 cups Canola oil or shortening
Batter
- 1 egg
- ½ cup buttermilk
- ½ cup low sodium chicken broth
- 1¼ teaspoons salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¾ cup flour
Breading
- 1½ cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Honey Chipotle Sauce
- ⅔ cup honey
- ¼ cup water
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1-2 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon hot sauce
Instructions

- To make batter, in a medium bowl whisk together egg, buttermilk, chicken broth,salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk in flour.
