Shawn’s Parmesan-Crusted Honey Mustard Fried Chicken

Prep Time: 30 minutes (20+ to marinate)

Cook Time: 20-30 minutes

Serving Size: 4

6 Chicken thighs or 8 tenders

2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard

2 tablespoons Honey

1 cup Buttermilk

1/2cup Panko Bread Crumbs

1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese

One sprig of Rosemary, chopped

1/4 c. butter or olive oil for pan coating  

Salt and pepper, to taste

Combine the buttermilk, mustard, and honey in a bowl. Add the chicken pieces, cover and let sit in the refrigerator for at least 20-30 min.  

Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees fahrenheit.

 Combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan, rosemary, salt and pepper on a plate or bowl for dredging.  Place butter or olive oil on a baking sheet with sides, or a baking dish and place in the oven to heat and melt.  

Once melted, remove the chicken pieces from the buttermilk mix and place on breadcrumb/dry ingredient plate and coat well.  Place chicken on the hot baking sheet, top side down.  Gently turn pieces (use a spatula to prevent losing the coating) after approx. 10-15 min, then cook another 10 min until done.
