How To Make Baked Chicken Fingers
Baked chicken fingers breaded in Panko, a Japanese-style breadcrumb, and can be served with extra honey BBQ sauce for dipping.
Serves:
Ingredients
- 1½lbsskinless boneless chicken breasts,or tenders
- ¾cupbbq sauce
- ¼cuphoney
- ½cupwhole wheat flour,or all purpose flour, spoon & leveled
- 1tspsalt
- ½tspground black pepper
- ½tsppaprika,smoked
- 2large eggs
- 1½cuppanko,or more, as needed
- olive oil spray,or coconut oil spray
Instructions
-
Combine barbecue sauce and honey in a large bowl. If using chicken breasts, pound down and cut into strips. If using boneless, skinless chicken tenders, cut in half lengthwise.
-
Add the chicken strips to the bowl and stir to coat. Cover tightly and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes and up to 4 to 6 hours. The longer, the more flavorful your chicken.
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or coat heavily with nonstick spray.
-
Combine flour, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika in a shallow dish. Beat eggs in another shallow dish.
-
Pour Panko breadcrumbs into a third shallow dish. Coat each chicken strip in flour, shaking off any excess.
-
Then, dip in the egg and let any excess drip off. Then generously roll in the breadcrumbs, shaking off any excess.
-
Add more Panko to the dish if you are running low. Place the chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Spray each with nonstick spray to seal the breading, which will prevent the breading from staying raw and allows it to bake onto the chicken fingers.
-
Bake for 10 minutes. Turn each piece over and continue baking until the outside is crisp and the centers are cooked through for about 10 minutes more.
-
Serve chicken fingers with more BBQ sauce. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
