How to Make Ben S Oven Fried Chicken Strips
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- 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.
- 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.
- In another shallow dish, mix 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Rinse and thoroughly pat dry about 1.5 lbs of chicken breast strips.
- Dip each chicken strip into the wet mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Dredge the wet chicken strip in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Place the floured chicken strip into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Sprinkle extra breadcrumbs on top.
- Place the breaded chicken strips on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. This allows for even crisping.
- 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.
