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!
