# Ingredients:
→ For the chicken
01 -
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
02 -
1 cup all-purpose flour
03 -
3 large eggs
04 -
¼ cup whole milk
→ For the coating
05 -
5 cups corn flakes cereal, crushed
06 -
½ teaspoon salt
07 -
½ teaspoon black pepper
08 -
½ teaspoon garlic powder
09 -
½ teaspoon paprika
→ For the honey BBQ sauce
10 -
1½ cups BBQ sauce
11 -
½ cup honey
12 -
½ cup ketchup
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
Put the chicken strips in a medium bowl and add the flour. Toss everything together until the chicken is well coated with flour.
03 -
In a large bowl, combine the crushed corn flakes, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.
04 -
Whisk the eggs and milk together in a small bowl until smooth.
05 -
Dip each flour-coated chicken strip into the egg mixture, letting excess drip off. Then roll generously in the corn flake mixture, pressing gently to help it stick.
06 -
Place the breaded chicken strips on your prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping them over at the 10-minute mark for even browning.
07 -
While the chicken bakes, combine BBQ sauce, honey, and ketchup in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
08 -
Remove chicken from oven and let it cool for 3-4 minutes. Pour the warm honey BBQ sauce over the chicken and toss to coat evenly. Serve right away.
# Notes:
01 -
Crushing corn flakes in a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and rolling with a rolling pin works best.
02 -
Don't skip the cooling time before adding sauce - it helps the coating stay crispy.
03 -
You can make extra honey BBQ sauce for dipping if you like it extra saucy.
