Chicken breast is sliced up into thin strips, dredged in a crispy, crunchy panko bread crumb mixture and then baked to golden perfection. That's right. These amazing little bites are baked, not fried. Tossed in a sweet and sticky sauce, these chicken strips are a must-have weeknight meal!

Hello PinkWhen readers! Justine from Cooking and Beer here to share my favorite monthly recipe with you all. These sweet and sticky chicken strips are so amazing you guys. Chicken breast is sliced up into thin strips, dredged in a crispy, crunchy panko bread crumb mixture and then baked to golden perfection. That’s right. These amazing little bites are baked, not fried. Tossed in a sweet and sticky sauce, these chicken strips are a must-have weeknight meal!

How is everyone’s spring going? My better half and I have had a very busy spring so far. With an immense amount of traveling, getting ready to list our house for sale and building a new home, we have been super busy. Oh, and there’s also my nightly Netflix binge-watching fest, but whose keeping track of that really? With all that is going on in our lives, easy dinners are best and so totally necessary. I’m sure you can relate. I can’t tell you how many times after a long day of cooking, writing and blogging, I don’t even want to think about cooking dinner. Poor Zach (that’s my better half), sometimes he’s stuck with an omelet and a small salad. This happens at least 2 to 3 times a week.

These sweet and sticky chicken strips are so amazing you guys. Chicken breast is sliced up into thin strips, dredged in a crispy, crunchy panko bread crumb mixture and then baked to golden perfection.

I kind of feel bad for him, but not really. 😉

Enter chicken. Chicken is a staple in my house. I will normally grill or bake a couple of pounds of chicken at the beginning of the week, and add it to salads, eggs, and other simple recipes as the week progresses. These sweet and sticky chicken strips have made quite a few appearances on my dinner table lately because they are so easy AND quick to make.

Sweet and Sticky Chicken Strips

Another thing I love about these sweet and sticky chicken strips, is the smell it doesn’t create! One thing I hate more than almost anything else on this planet, is the smell of fried food lingering in my house. Now, don’t get me wrong. I LOVE to eat fried food, more than I probably should actually, but that smell…I just can’t stand the smell it leaves behind, and it stays there! It stays there and permeates for days. I’m literally shivering just thinking about it. These chicken strips are baked, but you still achieve that crispiness you crave from something that has been fried. Trust me, these chicken strips will make you so happy! I have dreams about them…

….seriously, I do. Recipe is below!

Sweet and Sticky Chicken Strips

Prep Time: 10 min

Cook Time: 22 min

Total Time: 32 min

Serves 4

Ingredients

1 pound boneless and skinless chicken breast, cut into strips

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 eggs mixed with 1 tablespoon of water

1 cup panko bread crumbs

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

1 1/2 cups brown sugar

1/2 cup cayenne pepper sauce (like Frank’s Red Hot)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

ranch, for serving

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with foil. Spray it generously with non-stick spray. Set aside.

To one shallow bowl, add the flour. To a second shallow bowl, add the egg wash (2 eggs mixed with 1 tablespoon of water); and to a third shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs, salt, garlic powder and cayenne pepper.

Dredge the chicken strips in the flour, shaking to get rid of any excess. Transfer to the egg wash and fully coat. Finally, place the chicken strips in the panko bread crumb mixture and press to adhere where necessary. Place the chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet and spray generously with a non-stick spray. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until crispy, brown and cooked through.

While the chicken is cooking, prepare your sauce. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the brown sugar, cayenne pepper sauce and butter. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and then remove from heat.

Once the chicken has cooked, toss it in the sauce. Serve immediately with ranch. Enjoy!
