Ingredients
 

  • 1 pound Chicken tenders
  • 1 cup Flour
  • 1/2 tsp Sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 Egg+ 1 tbsp water beaten
  • 1 pound Lard for frying

Honey Mustard Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp Honey
  • 1½ tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 6 pieces Romaine lettuce
  • 1/4 Yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 Roma tomato, sliced
  • 6 slices Bacon, cooked
  • Pickle chips
  • 6 Hotdog buns

Instructions
 

  • Begin by preparing the honey mustard sauce in a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, honey, dijon mustard, lemon juice, and black pepper.
  • Whisk until smooth, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Preheat the oven to 375℉.
  • Place the bacon on a sheet pan and bake for 20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy. Remove from the oven and drain on a paper towel lined plate.
  • Melt the lard in a large stock pot over medium high heat. Bring the oil to 375℉.
  • Prepare a breading station with 3 bowls. The first bowl is for the chicken tenders.
  • In the second bowl, whisk together the egg and water.
  • In the third bowl, stir together the flour, salt, and pepper.
  • Once the oil is hot, dip one chicken tender into the egg, then into the flour, coating it well with flour.
  • Gently drop the chicken into the hot oil.
  • Continue with as many tenders as you can fit into the oil without overcrowding.
  • Fry the chicken tenders for 5 minutes, flipping to brown the other side half way through. Continue to fry for 3 additional minutes.
  • Remove the chicken tenders from the oil onto a paper towel lined plate to drain the grease.
  • Continue breading and frying until all the chicken is fried.
  • To assemble the sandwich, place 4 pickle chips on the bottom bun. Lay 1-2 chicken tenders onto the bun.
  • Add lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and bacon to the sandwich.
  • Drizzle honey mustard sauce over the sandwich and serve.
