These crispy baked chicken strips are a healthier twist on a classic favorite, perfect for a quick and delicious meal.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Using parchment paper makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, hot sauce, paprika, and garlic powder until well combined.
Adjust the amount of hot sauce to control the spiciness.
Place the crushed potato chips in another bowl.
Crush the chips finely for an even coating.
Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it thoroughly with the crushed chips.
Press the chips onto the chicken to ensure they stick well.
Place the coated chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart.
Spacing the strips ensures even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve the chicken strips warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
Offer a variety of sauces to cater to different tastes.
