Let's just say it out loud: there's nothing wrong with eating chicken tenders as an adult. In fact, there's everything that's right about it. It's small pieces, delightfully crisped, that are just perfect for dipping the into honey Dijon sauce. Grown-ups have to change the car's oil, pay taxes, fix the roof, go to work, renew our driver's license, file insurance claims, mow the lawn…. we shouldn't feel bad, after doing all that, in enjoying some chicken tenders.

1 Bake the Fries
Cut potatoes into 1/4" fries and pat dry.
Place fries on prepared baking sheet and toss with 1 Tbsp. olive oil and a pinch of salt. Massage oil and seasoning into potatoes.Spread into a single layer and bake in hot oven until lightly browned, 25-28 minutes, tossing fries halfway through.Carefully, remove fries to a mixing bowl and gently toss with Sriracha salt (to taste). Fries will be hot! Use a utensil.While fries bake, continue recipe. -
2 Prepare Ingredients and Make Sauce
Crush crispy onions.
Trim and thinly slice green onions.Combine honey and mustard in another mixing bowl. Set aside.Pat chicken breasts dry and, on a separate cutting board, cut into 3/4" strips. Season all over with a pinch of salt. -
3 Prepare the Chicken
Place panko on a plate.
Combine tempura mix and 1/4 cup water in another mixing bowl until a thin batter forms, like a pancake batter. If too thick, add water, 1 tsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.Transfer chicken pieces to tempura batter, coating each piece completely and evenly. Allow excess batter to drip off, and transfer chicken pieces to plate with panko. Flip pieces until coated entirely with panko, pressing gently to adhere. -
4 Cook the Chicken
Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add canola oil. Heat oil, 3 minutes.
While oil heats, line a plate with a paper towel.After 3 minutes, test oil temperature by adding a pinch of panko to it. It should sizzle gently. If it browns immediately, turn heat down and let oil cool. If it doesn't brown, increase heat.Working in batches if necessary, lay chicken tenders in hot oil and flip occasionally until crispy, golden brown, and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-8 minutes.Remove from burner. Transfer chicken to towel-lined plate. -
