Honey Barbecue Chicken Strips

"These are just like the ones served at restaurants and there great to serve at a get together although you will need to increase the amounts if you are feeding a crowd, I use Heinz hickory-flavor BBQ sauce but any brand will do as long as it is hickory flavor, if you like some heat then add in 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper to the flour mixture, serve with fries and coleslaw :)---- these are *very* good, I have made them many times."

  1. Great recipe! My kids gobbled these up! I added garlic and onion powder to the flour mixture, and also just brushed the tops of the chicken with sauce so they would stay crispy. My kids definitely want these on the menu again. Thanks for the recipe.
     
  2. These were good...I used honey bbq sauce, no hickory or honey....no complaints
     
  3. These were really delicious.Next time I will read some reviews and try getting tips from there. The chicken strips were not crunchy after baking them with the sauce.Maybe I put too much sauce or I should have reduced the baking time I don't know....Will definitely keep this recipe as I liked the flavor so much really tasty and well worth to try for anyone thinking about it.Thanks.
     
  4. So sorry...I forgot to add the stars!!!
     
  5. These were a huge hit with the kids! Like other posters, I had no buttermilk so substituted regular milk with a splash of vinegar. Also, I brushed the strips with sauce rather than dipping, they were wonderfully crunchy/sticky and the contrast in texture was perfect. I made half with barbecue sauce as directed and half with buffalo sauce, and pleased everyone in the house. I added 2 chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce to the barbecue sauce--my family loves chipotle--and it couldn't have been better. Great recipe!
