Ranch Chicken Strips Recipe

Updated on August 25th, 2025

Crispy, flavorful, and easy to make, these ranch chicken strips are a fun twist on a classic favorite. The coating is a blend of dry ranch dressing mix, Parmesan cheese, and crushed cornflakes, giving the chicken a savory taste and a crunchy texture. The meat stays juicy inside while the outside bakes or fries to a golden finish that makes every bite satisfying. With just a handful of ingredients and simple steps, these strips work well for weeknight dinners or party platters.

Why this recipe works

• Seasoned coating: The mix of ranch dressing, Parmesan, and cornflakes creates a flavorful crust that goes beyond ordinary breading and gives the chicken a unique taste.
• Crispy texture: Cornflakes produce a sturdy crunch that holds up while baking or frying, while the chicken inside stays tender and juicy.
• Cooking options: The strips can be baked in the oven for an easier version or fried on the stovetop when you want them extra crisp and golden.
• Simple ingredients: With common pantry staples, the recipe comes together quickly and doesn’t require anything complicated to prepare.
• Family appeal: The ranch flavor makes these strips popular with both kids and adults, turning them into a reliable choice for all kinds of meals.

Serving suggestions

• Dipping sauces: Pair the strips with ranch, honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or a spicy option like sriracha mayo to give everyone a choice of flavors.
• Side dishes: Serve alongside fries, roasted potatoes, coleslaw, or a green salad for a balanced and filling meal that works any night of the week.
• Party platter: Arrange the strips on a large tray for gatherings, where they can be enjoyed as finger food with sauces set out on the side.
• Wraps and sandwiches: Use the strips in tortillas with lettuce and tomato or layer them inside buns with cheese and pickles for a handheld option.
• Leftover ideas: Extra strips reheat well in the oven and can be chopped into salads, mixed into pasta, or tucked into quesadillas for easy next-day meals.
