Ingredients
- 8 mini chicken breasts tenders
- 300 ml | 10fl oz buttermilk
- 150 g | 5 1/2 oz Panko breadcrumbs
- 130 | 4 1/2 plain all purpose flour
- 1 tsp parprika
- 1/2 tsp cayenne papper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- oil spray or a little vegetable oil optional
For the sauce
- 200 g | 7oz hot chilli sauce Sriracha
- 60 g | 2 oz unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp garlic granules
For the feta dip
- 125 g | 4½ oz feta cheese
- 5 tbsp Greek yoghurt or sour cream
- 1-2 tsp olive oil
- finely chopped green onions scallions or chives to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190C (375F). Line a large baking tray with greaseproof paper.
- Put the breadcrumbs, flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt in a large shallow bowl and mix to combine. Put the buttermilk in another bowl.
- Dip a chicken tender into the buttermilk and then the breadcrumb mixture to coat. Make sure it is evenly coated and use two forks to carefully transfer onto the baking sheet.
- Repeat until you have prepared all of the chicken.
- Spray with a little oil or gently brush with a little vegetable oil (this is to help them colour - not essential). Bake for 15 minutes.
- Prepare the sauce while the chicken is baking. Put all the ingredients in a saucepan and cook, stirring, over low heat until the butter melts. Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes then take off the heat and set aside.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and dip each piece into the sauce. Handle with care as the coating can easily come off.
- Place back on the baking sheet and return to the oven for a further 5 minutes.
- Transfer the chicken onto a wire rack to cool.
- Place all the ingredients for the feta dip into a food processor and blitz until completely smooth.
- Serve the chicken with the feta dip on the side and garnish with a handful of chopped chives or spring onions.
