Crispy Baked Chicken Strips

Crispy chicken strips without frying in a bunch of oil!
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Servings 3

Ingredients

  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 3 tablespoons peanut oil or other neutral flavored oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 medium chicken breasts about 7 ounces/200 grams each
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Set a baking/cooling rack (make sure it's oven-safe) in a baking sheet. If you don't have one, you can just line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Take three shallow bowls. In one, combine the panko, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and peanut oil. Stir until the oil coats the breadcrumbs.
  • In the second bowl, beat the egg with the milk. Finally, in the third, add the flour.
  • If your chicken breasts are really thick, first cut them in half so you have two thinner pieces. Then cut the chicken into long strips (or short strips; this is really up to you. Just try to ensure they are around the same size so they cook evenly).
  • Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • One by one, coat the chicken pieces in the flour, then the egg mixture, and finally the panko mixture. Set the breaded chicken on the baking rack.
  • When all your chicken is breaded, bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until chicken is crispy and cooked through.
  • Serve immediately with your choice of condiments.
