BBQ Chicken Strips Recipe

These crispy BBQ chicken strips are great for dinner any night of the week. They are one of my favorite ways to prepared breaded chicken. The process of making these delicious chicken strips is not hard at all. The chicken strips are coated with a flour mixture and then deep fried and mixed with your favorite BBQ sauce. This recipe calls for store-bought BBQ sauce with a few ingredients added. You can use whatever brand you prefer, or even make your own.  If you decide to make your own honey BBQ sauce, you do not need to add the extra sauce ingredients. I would recommend serving the chicken strips immediately after coating them with the BBQ sauce, to ensure that they are still crisp while serving. This is an excellent recipe for the upcoming football season. Enjoy.
