With a crispy exterior and a sweet and tangy barbecue glaze, they’re sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Plus, they’re incredibly easy to make, making them a fantastic option for busy weeknights.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Honey BBQ sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Cooking Guide:
- Prepare the chicken: In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and pepper. In another dish, whisk together the egg. In a third dish, place the breadcrumbs.
- Coat the chicken: Dip each chicken strip into the flour mixture, then the egg, and finally the breadcrumbs, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Fry the chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat to about 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the coated chicken strips to the hot oil and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
- Make the glaze: While the chicken is frying, combine your favorite honey BBQ sauce with a bit of water to thin it slightly.
- Toss or drizzle: Toss the cooked chicken strips in the honey BBQ sauce or drizzle it on top.
Tips:
- For extra crispy chicken, double-dip the strips in the flour and egg mixture.
- If you prefer, you can bake the chicken strips instead of frying them. Simply coat the chicken as directed and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping once.
- Experiment with different breadcrumb flavors, such as panko or seasoned breadcrumbs, for added taste.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch or blue cheese.
