Firecracker Mustard Chicken Recipes

FIRECRACKER CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9×13 baking dish or coat with nonstick spray. To make the sauce, whisk together sugar, buffalo sauce, vinegar, salt, red pepper flakes and 1 tablespoon water in a large bowl; set aside. In a large bowl, season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in cornstarch and gently toss to combine. Working one at a time, dip the chicken into the eggs. Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan. Add chicken and cook until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; discard excess oil. Add chicken to prepared baking dish. Top with buffalo sauce mixture. Place into oven and bake until the sauce has thickened, about 45 minutes, turning over every 15 minutes to evenly coat the chicken. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Prepare oven: Preheat your oven to 450 F degrees.
• Make sauce: In a small bowl whisk all the sauce ingredients together until combined.
• Apply sauce to chicken: Place chicken in a 9x13-inch baking dish and pour half the sauce over the chicken. Brush the sauce evenly over the entire surface of the chicken. Flip the chicken breasts over and pour remaining sauce over. Brush or spoon sauce from the pan over the chicken, making sure it's fully covered.
• Bake: Transfer the baking dish, uncovered, to the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 25 minutes. The baking time could different depending on the thickness of the chicken breast. The breast is cooked when it's completely opaque all the way through and registers 165 to 170 F on an instant-read thermometer.
• Wait and serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite side dish.

Steps:

• Whisk all sauce ingredients together and set aside.
• Cover chicken with plastic wrap and pound to an 1/2-inch thickness. Slice breasts in half and transfer to a large plastic bag. Add 1/4 cup sauce, seal bag and squeeze gently to coat chicken with sauce. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, combine flour, cornstarch, salt and baking powder in a large bowl. Add 6 tablespoons of the sauce and, using your hands, blend until mixture resembles coarse wet sand.
• In another bowl, whisk egg whites until foamy.
• Set a large wire rack on a large baking sheet.
• Remove chicken pieces from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Dip each piece in the egg whites and transfer to flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere. Place on wire rack. Repeat with other chicken strips. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes (up to 4 hours).
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until oil shimmers. Add 1/2 of the chicken strips and fry until golden brown, 2-4 minutes per side. Remove to paper-towel lined platter and keep warm. Fry remaining chicken strips.
• Serve at once with remaining mustard sauce for generous dipping and a box of tissues for nose-blowing as the sauce clears everyone's sinuses.
