      Instructions

      0 of 6 done
      1. Step 1

        Mix pickle juice, yogurt, and spices in a bowl. Add chicken strips, stir, and marinate for at least 1 hour (overnight = maximum flavor).

      2. Step 2

        Combine flour with the same spices. Dredge each marinated strip in the flour, pressing to coat well. Shake off excess.

      3. Step 3

        Heat oil to 170–175 °C. Fry chicken in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5–6 minutes. Drain on a rack.

      4. Step 4

        Mix honey with 5 tbsp of hot frying oil and spices. Toss fried chicken tenders in the glaze until fully coated.

      5. Step 5

        Whisk yogurt, mayo, water, parsley, salt, pepper, and MSG until smooth. Chill until serving.

      6. Step 6

        Arrange tenders on a plate, drizzle with extra hot honey if desired, and serve with ranch dip on the side.
