Finicky eaters will be hard-pressed to find a problem with these three-bite addictive wonders. If you can’t find packages of tenderloins, then just slice up two or three entire breasts and the recipe will work just as well.

In a medium bowl, add flour and season with pepper. In a small bowl, add eggs and a teaspoon of water. Beat until yolk and whites are mixed. In another medium bowl add Panko breadcrumbs.

Using your left hand, add 5 pieces chicken to flour and coat well. Still using your left hand, add chicken to egg mixture. Make sure egg has completely coated flour on chicken and remove chicken with right hand. Allow excess egg to drip off. Place chicken into breadcrumbs and coat evenly, using right hand only. (Switching hands prevents the flour, egg and breadcrumbs from coating your fingers.) Remove from bowl and place on a sheet tray. Repeat process with remaining chicken.
In a large sauté pan on medium-high heat, add enough oil to fill pan by 1/4-inch. When oil is shimmering but not yet smoking, add chicken. Don’t overcrowd pan; if necessary, work in batches. Fry until cooked through, about 4–5 minutes per side depending on the thickness of chicken. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels.
In a small bowl, add both mustards and honey and mix well. Add mayonnaise and mix until there are no lumps. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
