Slowly recovering...

[mapsedge]

I had an invitation to go out with friends which, with regret, I had to turn down.  Michelle is better, but not THAT much better, so I stayed home and made supper for us.  Because it was SOOOOOOOOOOO good, I'm going to share.

Dipping Sauce

4T Spicy Mustard
1/4t Liquid Smoke
1t honey


Tiger Chicken

2 chicken breasts, sliced into tenders
1C all purpose flour
1C milk
1 large egg
1t kosher salt
1 box Frosted Flakes

Crush the Frosted Flakes into crumbs in a large bowl and set aside.  Make a batter from the flour, milk, egg, and salt.  Dip the chicken into the batter, then into the Frosted Flake crumbs.  Set aside and let the pieces sit to allow the coating to set.

Heat peanut oil in a large skillet over medium heat^†.  Fry the pieces of chicken until golden brown*, about three minutes per side.

* "and delicious" (c) 2001-2007, Alton Brown.
^† The temperature is a delicate balancing act.  Too cool, and the chicken will turn out oily.  Too hot, and the sugars on the cereal will burn.  Count on losing the first batch while you adjust.
