If you didn’t know, Mimi is all about the quick meal. 30 minutes or less the better. I found a recipe for sweet and spicy chicken tenders and decided to give it a whirl with El Yucateco hot sauce. There are a number of El Yucateco varieties available, I decided to go with the Chile Habenero that I picked up from Walmart.
Chopped my chicken breasts into strips. You could totally cut them into cubes as well and make a stir fry from this recipe.
While my oil was warming in the pan. I mixed together honey, brown sugar, ginger, garlic and El Yucateco Hot sauce to make the sauce.
I seasoned the chicken with a little salt and pepper before putting in the grease. I let each side brown a bit before adding in the sauce.
I let simmer for about 20 minutes and was ready to eat. Was really good, the hot sauce added a kick and the honey was enough to balance it out. For a more crunchy texture dredge the chicken in flour before putting in the grease.
In celebration of football season, I put these together with some fries and ranch dressing for my husband. He was good!
