Instructions
- Make the batter: whisk together the club soda and egg until uniform. Add the 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, salt and pepper and stir together. Let the batter rest a few minutes.
- Remove the chicken from its package and pat dry with a paper towel. Dredge the chicken in the 1/2 cup flour. Preheat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Dip the chicken into the batter and fry a few pieces at a time until golden and cooked through. (Any leftover batter can be used for onion rings, or discard the excess.)
- Make the honey mustard: combine the mayonnaise, dijon mustard, cayenne and honey and stir well. It keeps about a week in the refrigerator.
- Serve the crispers hot with the honey mustard.
