Crispy Oven Fried Buffalo Chicken Strips image

I finally found a way to make my chicken fingers crispy! I try not to eat fried foods but I love fried chicken and chicken fingers and chicken nuggets! Everytime I try to make 'oven fried chicken' with regular bread crumbs or corn flakes or potato chips, it always ends up soggy. Well.. I finally tried Panko and it is a Godsend! And I've found the sour cream also helps a ton! For dips I use Blue Cheese and also mixed the Buffalo sauce with some honey and it turned out great. Enjoy!

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb chicken tenders
1/2-1 tablespoon paprika
1/2-1 tablespoon cayenne
1 teaspoon kosher salt
12 ounces Frank's red hot sauce (Buffalo)
1/4 cup flour
1/2-1 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
8 ounces panko breadcrumbs (original)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Put Panko in a bowl or pan (something you can fit the chicken into when dipping).
  • Put the chicken into a gallon size zip lock bag.
  • Toss in the paprika, cayenne, salt and Red Hot Buffalo sauce (just enough to coat the chicken).
  • Seal the bag and smoosh the chicken around to coat evenly.
  • Add the flour to the bag.
  • Seal the bag again and shake to coat.
  • Crack eggs into bowl, and whisk.
  • Add sour cream. (start with 1/2 cup and add to make thicker).
  • Beat well to incorporate. It will be thick.
  • Grab your seasoned chicken, dish of breadcrumbs, bowl of batter, and lined sheet pan.
  • Take a piece of chicken and shake it to knock off excess flour.
  • Dip it into the batter to coat it on all sides.
  • Drop the battered chicken into the breadcrumbs and turn it over a few times to coat the chicken.
  • Place on sheet.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the breading is lightly browned. Your final cooking time will vary depending on how thick your chicken tenders are.
  • *I served with blue cheese dressing, more Buffalo sauce, and even some honey. YUMMY.
