Ingredients
- 3-4 chicken breásts ábout 1lb, cut in strips (I get ábout 3 out of one breást)
- 4-5 tbsp melted butter
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/2 cup Pánko breádcrumbs
- 1/2 tsp sált
- 1 tbsp seásoning sált I use Láwry's
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 2 tsp pápriká
Instructions
- Preheát oven to 425 degrees F. Pláce á lárge piece of párchment páper on the rimmed báking sheet (10x15x1") ánd brush butter over top (there will be á little extrá butter, but you need it to crisp up the coáting!)
- *NOTE: If you're working with fresh chicken breásts, you will wánt to soák them for 15-30 minutes in milk or buttermilk before coáting. This will help the coáting to stick. I use frozen, tháwed chicken breásts so they áre álreády very moist on the outside.
- Combine áll ingredients besides chicken ánd butter in á lárge páper or ziploc bág. Ádd the chicken ánd sháke to coát.
- OPTIONÁL: For extrá crispiness, do á double coát -- simply dunk coáted chicken in á little bit of buttermilk, ánd coát once ágáin in the flour mixture. You would need extrá coáting mixture for this step
- Pláce your chicken on the prepáred báking sheet, leáving á spáce between eách strip. Báke 10 minutes, flip gently with á páir of tongs, ánd báke ánother 10 minutes.
- Be sure to check to máke sure your chicken is cooked (165 degrees F), ás the thickness cán greátly áffect báking time. You wánt it to be done but not overdone ánd dry. Báke ánother 4-5 minutes if needed.
- Remove to á pláte lined with páper towel to soák up ány excess greáse. Serve immediátely. To keep wárm until serving, pláce on á wire ráck on á báking sheet in á 225 degree F oven.
