Two years after winning an apron, I entered the Hungry Jack ‘Use up the Box’ contest.

Recipe included three Hungry Jack products: Hungry Jack Complete Buttermilk Pancake & Waffle Mix; Hungry Jack Mashed Potatoes; and Hungry Jack Original Syrup

No one was left hungry after this win! 

Felt great reading about my win in my very first press release!  My American-inspired Crispy Chicken with Maple/Dijon Dipping Sauce recipe was officially published in the Hungry Jack website.

Recipe: 

INGREDIENTS:

  • Crisco® Pure Peanut Oil, for frying

  • 1 cup Hungry Jack® Complete Buttermilk Pancake & Waffle Mix (Just Add Water)

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons seasoned salt

  • 2/3 cup chicken stock

  • 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds chicken breast tenders (approximately 12 pieces)

  • 1 1/2 cups Hungry Jack® Instant Mashed Potato Flakes

  • 1/4 cup Hungry Jack® Original Syrup

  • 1/4 cup honey

  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

DIRECTIONS:

  1. HEAT 2-inches oil to 330°F in 6-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Combine pancake mix and seasoned salt in medium bowl. Stir in chicken stock. Place chicken pieces in pancake mixture. Let marinate 5 minutes. Spread potato flakes on large plate. Dip chicken into potato flakes to coat.

  2. FRY a few pieces of chicken at a time, 2 to 3 minutes, until deep golden brown and internal temperature reads 170°F. Repeat with remaining chicken pieces. Drain on paper towels.

  3. MIX syrup, honey and mustard in small bowl until well combined. Serve chicken warm with dipping sauce.
