2. Bake Until Golden
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Arrange the breaded chicken strips in a single layer, leaving space between them.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy and golden brown.
3. Make the Honey BBQ Glaze
While the chicken bakes, whisk together the BBQ sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and smoked paprika in a small bowl. Set aside.
4. Add the Glaze
Remove the chicken strips from the oven and brush generously with the honey BBQ glaze. Return them to the oven for an additional 3–5 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize slightly.
5. Serve and Enjoy!
Let the strips cool for a minute before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions if desired, and serve alongside extra BBQ sauce for dipping.
Tips for Making Perfect Honey BBQ Chicken Strips
Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Space out the chicken strips to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness.
Adjust Spices to Taste: Love heat? Stir in a dash of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the glaze.
Use Quality BBQ Sauce: Whether store-bought or homemade, choose a sauce that complements the sweetness of the honey.
Make Ahead: Bread the chicken strips up to a day in advance and refrigerate them until ready to bake.
Switch Up the Protein: Try this recipe with chicken tenders, thighs, or even tofu for a plant-based option.
