- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 3 pieces eggs

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place chicken strips in a medium size bowl and add flour. Toss to coat chicken well.
- Place corn flakes, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in a large mixing bowl.
- Whisk eggs and milk together in a small bowl.
- Dip each flour coated chicken strip in the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off. Generously roll chicken in corn flake mixture, shaking off any excess.
Baking and Sauce Preparation
- Place chicken strips on prepared baking sheet and bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, turning chicken over at the 10-minute mark.
- While chicken is baking, prepare your honey BBQ sauce by heating BBQ sauce, honey, and ketchup over medium-low heat for 6-7 minutes.
- Remove chicken from the oven and let cool for 3-4 minutes. Pour warm honey BBQ sauce over chicken and toss to coat well.
Serving
- Serve chicken strips immediately.
Notes
For optimal results, ensure each piece of chicken is thoroughly coated. Adjust seasoning to suit your taste and consider chilling the coated chicken briefly before baking for extra crispiness.
