I don’t know about you, but my kids will eat anything that even closely resembles a nugget. I just tell them that these Honey BBQ Chicken Strips are GIANT nuggets and I’m in. Just like that. Chicken strips are good any night of the week – and especially on game day – but when you add a sticky sweet honey-bbq glaze on top, well, resistance is futile my friends.
I started with chicken tenders but if you have boneless, skinless chicken breasts on hand, just cut them into strips. The first step is really the most important and that’s when we marinate the strips in buttermilk. It’s essential. The chicken gets so tender that it’s impossible to resist.
The chicken strips are double-dipped (flour, buttermilk, flour) for an extra thick and crispy coating. This is totally necessary because the honey-bbq glaze is wet and the coating needs to be able to withstand all that ooey-gooey goodness. Note: if you want to spice these up a bit, add some hot sauce or sriracha to the honey-bbq glaze.

After frying, and this part is quick because we are not cooking the chicken though all the way, I let my chicken strips drain on a rack. You can also use paper towels. Finally it’s time to brush on the honey barbecue glaze and pop them into the oven.
You get something awesome like this when they come out. Sticky, sweet perfection!
The chicken is so tender and juicy – you’ll want to eat the whole batch yourself!
