In a shallow dish whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Next in a shallow dish add the milk and 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture.
Lightly dredge the chicken in the flour, then dredge the floured chicken into the milk mixture.
Next dredge the chicken in the flour again and set aside.
In a large frying pan add your oil and heat over medium-high heat.
Once the oil reaches 350 degrees add your chicken in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the chicken tenderloins for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Set on a paper towel lined plate or a wire rack to drain off the excess grease.
Meanwhile; make your sauce by combining the honey, chipotle sauce (Not the chipotles themselves), ketchup and vinegar in a small saucepan.
Heat over medium high heat until it begins to bubble.
Let bubble and simmer for for 5 minutes until thickened.
Toss the chicken strips in the sauce.
Serve and enjoy!

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

You can cut back on the amount of chipotle for a less spicy dish.

You can add any seasoning you like to the flour mixture.

Serve with fries, onion rings and ranch!
