Q: Our son and daughter-in-law live around the corner from a great neighborhood tavern called Melton's App & Tap on North Decatur Road in Decatur. I have become addicted to their Buffalo Chicken Tenders.
-- Betsy Waterman, Woodstock
A: This is a rather simple recipe for chicken tenders, but it illustrates how one or two things in a recipe can make all the difference. The secret to the success of Melton's App & Tap's chicken tenders is that they are fresh, not frozen, and dusted with a biscuit mix. "Bisquick works just fine, " said owner Aaron Melton, who was glad to share the recipe. Another critical element to this recipe is that the sauce includes Frank's Red Hot Sauce. Accept no substitutes, he says.
Hands on time: 10 minutes Total time: 40 minutes Serves: 4
Ingredients:
-
Sauce:
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1/2 cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce
Tenders:
1/2 cup biscuit mix (such as Bisquick)
8 (about 1 pound) chicken tenders
Canola oil for deep-fat frying
Instructions:
In a small bowl, combine melted butter and hot sauce. Mix well. Refrigerate just long enough to thicken, about 10 to 15 minutes.
As sauce thickens, place biscuit mix on a plate and dredge tenders in mix, shaking off excess. Meanwhile, in a medium pot or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 350 degrees. Submerge tenders in hot oil and fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Roll tenders to coat in sauce. Serve with waffle fries, celery and blue cheese dressing.
