Food borne illness can be escalated if the chicken is in the danger zone of 41 to 135 degrees. I definitely don't want anyone in your family to get sick. Take care and God bless.

I am usually a fan of Enola's rec...Hi Patrice,<br /><br />I am usually a fan of Enola's recipes, but this one is definitely NOT "healthier" than fried chicken due to the large amount of mayonnaise used. If you have ever made your own mayo you know that a cup of mayo contains approximately 3/4 cup of oil. (It is basically nothing more than an oil and vinegar dressing emulsified with egg.) The commenter who suggested yogurt was on the right track, I would probably try that substitution as well.<br /><br />Here is my mother's recipe for homemade mayonnaise - we always did this when I was growing up and never became ill - but be warned that if you are concerned with salmonella to use pasteurized eggs. You need a blender for this recipe.<br /><br />Crack a raw egg into the blender. Add 1/2 t. dry mustard, 2 T white vinegar, 1/2 t salt and about 1/4 c. oil (I recommend a light tasting oil, you could use olive oil but it does have a quite distinctive taste.) Remove the knob from the top of the blender and put the top on (blender is covered but has an opening at the top now). Turn on the blender to "mix" (or medium) and immediately begin to pour in an additional 3/4 cup of oil in a tiny stream. (Total amount of oil used in this recipe is 1 cup.) Pouring the oil in very slowly allows the raw egg to emulsify the oil into the other ingredients. When the last of the oil is in the mayo in the blender will be very thick. Depending on your blender, you may have to turn it off and stir with a spoon to get the last few drops in. That's it - just a great-tasting mayo with no sugar. <br /><br />If you want to substitute lemon juice for half or all of the vinegar, you may. It depends on the taste you want. Whichever you use, be sure to refrigerate it due to the egg. <br /><br />-ScoutmamaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-74055618243513672962013-03-11T10:03:49.950-07:002013-03-11T10:03:49.950-07:00Looks really good, thank you for sharing.

Then cook in the oven. So juicy and tasty. Usually served with glazed carrots.<br />This recipe looks good also. I was wondering about adding honey to the mixture. I love dipping chicken "tenders, nuggets, etc" in honey mustard sauce.

I prefer the toaster oven as it makes them a bit crunchy again. They're also good cold.
