Chili’s Honey Chipotle Chicken Crispers
Chili’s Honey Chipotle Chicken Crispers. Is the most popular copycat recipe on my site.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon white vinegar
2 tsp ground chipotle chile pepper powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tbsp hot sauce
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp garlic powder
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Instructions:
Make honey-chipotle sauce by combining all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat until boiling.Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Heat the canola oil in the fryer to 350F. Whisk together all ingredients except the flour, after all combined then you add the flour.
Make the breading by combining all ingredients in another pan.
When you are ready to fry the chicken, dip each piece of chicken into the batter. Lift the chicken out of the batter and let some of the excess drip off. Toss the chicken into the dry breading and coat completely. Drop the breaded chicken into the hot oil and fry for 4 minutes, or until golden brown.Remove chicken from oil and allow to drain on paper towels. When all the chicken tenders are done, drop them into a large glass or metal bowl. Pour the sauce over the top, and toss gently until all the chicken tenders are coated with the sauce.

Great recipe! ! Absolutely loved.. Right on point with chilis as well… Tasted great with blue cheese.. Now getting ready to try as a glaze over steamed shrimp! ! 🙂
Thanks. Yes the sauce is good on a lot of other kinds of food. My next try will be the ribs.
Thank you so much for posting this!! I just made it for dinner and it was AMAZING. I expected it to be pretty good, but I didn’t expect it to be SO close to the chili’s version. It’s the exact same thing! Sooo delicious.
Thanks for your kind words.
every time I go to chilis I order this every single time… So I was looking for it.saw this recipe..made it …well just the honey chipotle and bought the chicken already made and I loved it my husband said it was better than chilis …
Except for one little thing I couldnt find chilli chipotle powder so I used 2 cubes of Knorr chipotle flavor .still good thoe
