Ingredients for Ben S Oven Fried Chicken Strips

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast strips
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • Dry Breadcrumbs
  • Cheddar Cheese

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

How to Make Ben S Oven Fried Chicken Strips

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup melted butter, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 large egg, and 1 tablespoon your favorite hot sauce until smooth.
  3. In a separate shallow dish, combine 1 1/2 cups dry bread crumbs, 1/2 cup finely grated cheddar cheese, and 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese.
  4. In another shallow dish, mix 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Rinse and thoroughly pat dry about 1.5 lbs of chicken breast strips.
  6. Dip each chicken strip into the wet mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  7. Dredge the wet chicken strip in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  8. Place the floured chicken strip into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Sprinkle extra breadcrumbs on top.
  9. Place the breaded chicken strips on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. This allows for even crisping.
  10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
