Gluten Free Oven-Fried Frito Chicken Fingers with Honey-Mustard Dip

Note: You can swap tortilla chips for the Fritos and use store-bought salad dressing, barbecue sauce or just plain ketchup in place of the honey-mustard dip.

SERVES 6 PREP TIME 20 minutes COOK TIME 20 minutes

Extra-virgin olive oil, for greasing

6 cups corn chips, such as Fritos, coarsely crushed

Salt and pepper

3 large eggs, at room temperature

1½ pounds (750 g) chicken tenders

½ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil. In a shallow bowl, combine the corn chips, 1½ teaspoons salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs. Coat a chicken tender with the corn chip mixture, dip into the eggs, then coat again with the corn chip mixture; place on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Bake until golden and cooked through, about 20 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, mustard, honey and lemon juice; season with about ¼ teaspoon salt. Serve with the chicken fingers.
