Crispy Deep-Fried Duck Fingers with Spicy Dipping Sauce

1.Slice the duck breasts (2) into thin strips, about 1/2 inch wide, and season them with salt and black pepper.

2.In a shallow dish, mix the all-purpose flour (1 cup), paprika (1 teaspoon), garlic powder (1 teaspoon), onion powder (1 teaspoon), and cayenne pepper (½ teaspoon).

3.In another shallow dish, beat the eggs (2) and mix in the buttermilk (½ cup), soy sauce (1 tablespoon), and hot sauce (1 tablespoon).

4.Place the breadcrumbs (1 cup) in a third shallow dish.

5.Dredge each duck strip in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

6.Dip the floured duck strips into the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.

7.Finally, coat the duck strips in the breadcrumbs (1 cup), pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.

8.Heat the vegetable oil (1 cup) in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

9.Carefully place the duck strips into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.

11.In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise (½ cup), sriracha sauce (1 tablespoon), honey (1 tablespoon), and lime juice (1 tablespoon) to make the spicy dipping sauce.

12.Serve the crispy duck fingers hot with the spicy dipping sauce on the side.
