Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk
  • Tongs
  • Zester
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound chicken fillets
  • 1 cup panko crumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup sriracha
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 lime, juice of
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 lime zest zest of 1 lime
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F and position a rack in the top third.
  • Whisk together the egg and milk in a medium bowl until combined.
  • Place the panko crumbs in a separate shallow bowl and season the crumbs with a little salt and pepper.
  • Dip each chicken fillet into the egg-milk mixture, letting excess drip off, then press into the panko to coat evenly. Arrange the coated tenders on a nonstick or lined baking sheet.
  • Bake the chicken tenders for 15–20 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown.
  • While the chicken bakes, whisk together the sriracha, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and lime juice in a bowl to make the sriracha-honey glaze.
  • In a separate small bowl mix the sour cream, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, and lime zest to make the dipping sauce; season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • When the tenders are done, toss or brush them with the sriracha-honey glaze to coat. Serve immediately with the lime dipping sauce on the side.

Notes

  • Eat these right away because the sriracha-honey will soften the breading over time.
  • Use a zester to get fine lime zest.
