- 1/4 cup of water

- 1 tbsp. cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons chipotle powder (or to taste)
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp spicy pepper sauce
Chicken Ingredients for Crispers:
- A quarter cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, ground
- 2 big beaten eggs
- 1/2 cup seasoned garlic and herb dry bread crumbs
- 1 paprika teaspoon
- 1 1/2-pound skinless and boneless chicken breasts, sliced into strips

Instructions for Honey Chicken Chipotle Crispers
- Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine ketchup, honey, vinegar, water, chili powder, salt, and spicy sauce for the honey-chipotle sauce. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often. Remove from heat after the appropriate consistency has been reached.
- Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic salt, pepper, and chili for the chicken. Separately, place the beaten eggs. In a third bowl, combine the bread crumbs and paprika. Coat the chicken tenders in the flour mix, then the egg mixture, and finally the bread crumb mixture.
- Step 3
In a frying pan over medium heat, heat the oil. Cook until the frying is golden brown and the chicken is completely white and no longer pink or transparent in the middle, 3 to 6 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Step 4
Toss the tenders in the honey-chipotle sauce until well coated, then lay them on the bottom half of the potato rolls. Add a dill pickle round and lettuce on top of the chicken.
Cook’s Notes:
If the breading is cooking quicker than the chicken, reduce the temperature or put the tenders on a sheet pan and bake for 10 to 12 minutes at 425 ℉ (220 degrees C). If you want, you may spray the sauce over the chicken rather than toss it.
