To prepare the marinade and chicken, combine the sour cream, lemon juice, celery seed, salt, pepper, and garlic in a large bowl. Add the chicken tenders. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
For the breading, combine the oats, granola, pecans, jalapenos, and salt in a shallow dish. Set aside.
For the dipping sauce, combine the mustard, mayonnaise, honey, garlic, parsley, cayenne pepper, white pepper, sour cream, and hot sauce in a food processor bowl, and blend well. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a heavy, deep skillet or fryer to 400 degrees. While it’s heating, evenly coat both sides of the marinated chicken in the breading mixture. Fry several pieces of chicken at a time until lightly browned on both sides. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle lightly with black pepper. Serve hot with the dipping sauce. Yield: 20 strips or 10 servings
