Crispy Garlic Chicken Strips with Sweet Chilli Mayo

Tender pieces of Garlic flavoured chicken; breaded in Panko for added crunch; baked until golden and crispy; and less the fat than deep fried without losing all the flavours. How? Mixing a little oil into the egg wash.

Pairing these crispy and crunchy chicken pieces with my favourite mayonnaise — Sweet Chilli Mayo — makes this simply incredible.

These take less than 10 minutes to prep, 10-15 minutes in the oven, and dinner is on the table.

Better than the unhealthy-take-away-deep-fried version of crumbed chicken anything. And that Sweet Chilli Mayo! Oh…you have to try this one.

First: start by whisking together the garlic spiced egg mix. Add the chicken; mix it through; coat with a breadcrumbs mix; place onto oven tray; bake for a few minutes; serve.

That’s it. You won’t buy frozen nuggets ever again.

So crispy and golden…and the crunch these guys have is crazy good.

And squeeze over some lemon. (I have a thing for crumbed chicken and lemon).

Serve over some greens and enjoy every crispy bite!

Chicken Strips:

  • 1 x-large egg
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic crushed (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley , finely chopped
  • 1 pinch Sea salt
  • 1 lbs skinless chicken breast fillets or thighs if your prefer, cut into strips
  • 3/4 cup panko crumbs
  • 1/4 cup multigrain/whole wheat breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons fresh grated Parmesan cheese

Sweet Chilli Mayo:

  • 3 tablespoons reduced-fat/light whole egg mayonnaise or Greek yogurt for a healthier version
  • 3 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce

  • Preheat oven 200℃ | 390℉. Lightly grease a baking tray with cooking oil; wipe over with paper towel and set aside. You may need 2 trays.
  • Whisk eggs, oil, garlic, paprika and salt in a medium sized bowl. Add in chicken and mix to coat well until chicken strips are fully covered.
  • Pour panko, breadcrumbs and Parmesan onto a separate plate, and dip chicken pieces one at a time into breadcrumbs. Coat well and place onto baking tray. Repeat with all chicken strips.
  • Lightly spray the chicken strips evenly with cooking oil spray.
  • Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, turning once halfway, until golden and cooked through.
