Graham Cracker Fried Chicken
- 2 cups Fry Oil (I Use Peanut Oil)
- 5 whole Sheets Of Graham Crackers (4 Little Rectangles Per Sheet)
- 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 1/2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 whole Large Egg
- 1 pound Raw Chicken Tenders
- Honey, For Serving
- In an 8-cup saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat.
- The oil is ready to fry when you drop in a few pieces of graham cracker crumbs, and it immediately starts to sizzle and floats to the surface.
- If it turns black, its too hot and you should let it cool a bit before proceeding.
- Heat your oven to 200 F if you want to keep the chicken warm after frying it.
- First, crush the graham crackers in a food processor or plastic bag with a rolling pin.
- When you have fine crumbs, add the smoked paprika, garlic powder and salt to the graham cracker crumbs, and stir to combine.
- Beat the egg in a shallow bowl, and have ready it on the side.
- Next, bread the chicken: first dip it in the egg, let the excess drip off, and then roll it in the graham cracker crumbs.
- Set the coated chicken on a plate.
- Repeat for all chicken fingers.
- Add only two or three chicken fingers to the hot oil at a time, and fry until golden brown and they reach 165 F internally.
- It should take about 3 minutes per side.
- Remove cooked chicken from the oil using tongs and place on a rimmed baking tray.
- Repeat frying all of the chicken tenders.
- You can keep them warm in a 200 F oven while the rest finish cooking.
- Always test the internal temperature of chicken before serving.
- Drizzle with honey and serve.
