Directions for Pecan Crusted Chicken Tenders and Salad with Tangy Maple Dressing Recipe
Heat 1 1/2 to 2 inches of oil over medium high heat. Season chicken tenders with salt and pepper. Set out 3 shallow dishes. Place flour in 1 dish, eggs beaten with water or milk in a second. In the third dish, combine bread crumbs with ground pecans, nutmeg and orange zest. Coat tenders in batches in flour, then egg, then bread crumb mixture. Fry tenders in small batches 6 to 7 minutes. Drain tenders on paper towels. Combine maple syrup, barbecue sauce and orange juice in a bowl. Whisk in oil and season with salt and pepper. Combine romaine, radishes and scallions in a large salad bowl or on a serving platter. Toss with 3/4 of the dressing. Season with salt and pepper, to your taste. Top salad with pecan crusted chicken tenders and drizzle remaining dressing over top. Beverage suggestion: serve cran-raspberry apple juice over ice and top with a splash of soda water.
