Pretzel Crusted Chicken

This pretzel crusted chicken makes a flavorful and fast weeknight dinner! My recipe is kid-friendly, can be baked or pan fried, and includes an irresistible honey mustard sauce.
With a crispy-crunchy exterior and a tender juicy center, my pretzel crusted chicken is the flavorful, EASY weeknight chicken that the whole family will love (at least mine sure does!)! It stays nice and crispy, unlike many baked breaded chicken recipes, and it has a beautiful golden brown exterior.
This chicken is juicy, tender, and full of flavor. We’ll dip it in a honey mustard egg batter before coating in the crisp and crunchy pretzel pieces. I also include a honey mustard drizzle/dipping sauce, which really takes things to a whole new level!
Ingredients:
For the honey mustard sauce
- 2 Tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
For the chicken
