Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Chicken Strips:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs (or regular breadcrumbs for a softer texture)

For the Honey BBQ Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional, for extra depth)
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for added smokiness)

For Serving:

  • Additional BBQ sauce (for dipping)
  • Fresh parsley or green onions (for garnish)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken

In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, beat the egg. Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.

Coat each chicken strip first in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then dip it in the egg and finally press it into the breadcrumbs to coat evenly.
