Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups seasoned or salted pretzels I recommend Dotz
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts or chicken tenders
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp hot sauce
  • ½ cup grainy mustard
  • ¼ cup honey

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°
  • If using chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch strips.
  • In a food processor, grind pretzels until relatively fine and pour onto a shallow plate. On a separate shallow plate, scramble eggs and hot sauce.
  • Dip chicken strips in egg mix and then roll into pretzels until completely coated. Place on a baking rack over a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken strips.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until the outside is browned and the internal temperature reaches 165°
  • Meanwhile, mix together mustard and honey, adding more or less honey to taste.
  • Let the chicken cool slightly, and serve with honey mustard.
