# What You’ll Need to Cook:
→ Chicken and Coating
01 -
1 1/2 pounds chicken breast, cut into strips
02 -
1 cup crushed corn flakes
03 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
04 -
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
05 -
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
06 -
1/2 teaspoon paprika
07 -
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
08 -
2 large eggs
09 -
2 tablespoons milk
→ Honey BBQ Sauce
10 -
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
11 -
1/4 cup honey
12 -
2 tablespoons ketchup
# Steps to Prepare:
01 -
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut chicken breasts into uniform strips or cubes and toss with flour in a bowl to coat.
02 -
In a large bowl, mix crushed corn flakes with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and milk until smooth.
03 -
Dip flour-coated chicken pieces into the egg wash, letting excess drip off, then coat with corn flake mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
04 -
Arrange breaded chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet without touching. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even crisping.
05 -
Combine barbecue sauce, honey, and ketchup in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low for 6–7 minutes, stirring until glossy and slightly thickened.
06 -
Let baked chicken cool for 3–4 minutes. Pour warm honey BBQ sauce over the strips and toss gently to coat without sogging the crust.
# Extra Cooking Tips:
01 -
Let chicken cool slightly before saucing to preserve the crispy coating.
02 -
Flour helps the egg mixture cling better, creating a stable crust.
03 -
Flip chicken midway during baking to ensure both sides brown evenly.
