Instructions
Pretzel Fried Chicken
Add your pretzels and pecans to a food processor. Pulse until they form a fine, sandy crumb. Pour the crumb mixture into a shallow dish.
Add the dairy free milk, 1 tsp of kosher salt, and hot sauce to another shallow dish and whisk to combine.
Add the chicken tenders into the milk mixture and toss so they are all coated. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the milk mixture and add it to the pretzel mixture. Make sure they are fully coated.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Carefully add the chicken tenders into the hot oil, careful not to crowd. You can fry in batches.
Cook each side for about 3 minutes before flipping, allowing them to get golden brown.
When they are golden and the internal temperature is 165 degrees, remove them to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
Sprinkle with remaining 1 tsp kosher salt.
Gluten Free Waffles
Mix your waffles according to the package directions with the addition of the orange juice and zest, honey, and pecans.
Cook your waffles.
To build your Sweet n Spicy Chicken and Waffles add crispy fried chicken to the top of a waffle. Drizzle on extra hot sauce.
Enjoy!
