with Honey Mustard Sauce

Makes 6 servings

3

tablespoons kosher salt

3

tablespoons brown sugar

1

cup boiling water

12

ice cubes

4

skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

1cup unbleached, all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon kosher salt

¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

¼ teaspoon paprika

¼ teaspoon granulated garlic powder

¾ cup buttermilk or regular milk

Honey Mustard Sauce

½cup honey

¼cup Dijon mustard (regular or grainy)

Combine salt, sugar and boiling water in a medium-large heat-proof bowl. Stir until sugar and salt are completely dissolved. Add ice. Cut chicken into ½ x 2-inch strips. Place cut chicken in the chilled brine mixture and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes.

Combine the flour with the salt, pepper, paprika, and granulated garlic in a shallow bowl. Blend honey and mustard to make honey mustard sauce.

When ready to cook, drain chicken and pat completely dry. Heat the oil in the Waring Pro® Professional Deep Fryer to 375°F. Dip the drained and dried chicken strips in butter- milk and roll in flour to coat well. Place the strips on a plate. Carefully place the chicken strips in the hot oil in batches. Cook, turning once, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on layers of paper towels and serve with honey mustard sauce.
