Chili’s Copycat Chicken Crispers are chicken fingers with a light and airy batter just like Chili’s, usually served with Chili’s Honey Mustard Dressing. This serves 4 as an appetizer or 2 as an entree.
This recipe calls for the chicken to be dipped in the flour first and then the batter. This yields chicken very similar to the texture of Chili’s.
If you would prefer a crispier coating then reverse the process. Dip in the batter first and then the flour.
Either way this is a great dish. Even better with the Honey Mustard Dressing! (Link Below)
