HONEY PECAN CHICKEN STRIPS

Steps:

• Place the chicken in a large bowl. Add the buttermilk and hot sauce, then toss to combine. Allow to marinate 15 to 30 minutes.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour, pecans and seasoning salt. Mix well and set aside.
• Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over a medium heat until it reaches 375 degrees F.
• Place a small pan over a low heat and add the honey and butter. Allow the honey to warm and the butter to melt.
• Meanwhile, remove the chicken from the buttermilk a few pieces at a time, then add to the flour/pecan mixture, turning to coat thoroughly. Place on a plate. Continue with the remaining chicken until it is all coated.
• Cook the chicken in the skillet in batches, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crisp, about 4 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Add the chicken to a platter and drizzle over half of the honey butter. Garnish with the parsley. Serve with the remaining honey butter on the side for dipping.

• 3. Toss well to coat. Serve over lettuce, or with your favorite bread or crackers.
• 4. Note: the original recipe doesn't call for celery. I add it when I want to change the taste up a bit and add a little more crunch. It's equally delicious either way. Another variation is to use dried cranberries in place of the grapes.
