How to cook crispy chicken strips in the oven like in KFS with spicy Thai sauce
And so let's start with amazingly delicious chicken strips, which we will not fry in oil as usual, but bake in the oven. I know that many will be surprised now, but there is such a way. It is also often practiced in cooking, especially by those who do not want to gain extra calories. And we will prepare such strips with corn flakes. Thanks to them, our yummy food will not only look appetizing. But it will also be covered with a golden crust, which will crunch like in FSC.
Ingredients:
For the sauce:
- Water 50 ml.
- Sugar 100 gr.
- Rice vinegar 50-60 ml.
- Chili pepper 1 pc.
- Garlic 2 cloves
- Tomato paste 1 tbsp. l.
- Potato starch 0.5 tbsp. l.
- Salt 2 pinches
For strips:
- Chicken breasts 2 pcs. (each approximately 400-500 grams)
- Black pepper, salt to taste
For breading:
- Corn flakes 150-200 gr.
- Eggs 2 pcs.
- Olive oil 1 tbsp. l.
- Flour 200 gr.
Preparation:
We will start cooking by preparing the sauce. This Thai sauce is suitable for all fans of spicy FSC. This is a very cool hot-sweet sauce, which I have personally tested more than once. Well, let's start with it!
1. Place water, sugar and rice vinegar (or you can use apple cider vinegar) into a saucepan set on fire. Over low heat, bring the entire contents to a boil. It is very important that all the sugar is completely dissolved.
2. While the future sauce is simmering over low heat, there is time to prepare the chili pepper. Cut it in half and remove all the seeds. For the amount of sauce we are preparing, it will be enough to use only one part of the pepper. Cut it as finely as possible.
3. We also need garlic. Two cloves are enough, which do not need to be pressed or squeezed through the garlic clove. It is enough to randomly chop them with a knife.
4. As soon as the liquid in the saucepan begins to boil, you can add chopped spicy additives and a spoonful of tomato to it. Mix all the contents and leave for another 5 minutes.
5. While the sauce is saturated with the aromas of pepper and garlic, we need to prepare another essential additive in order for it to thicken. To do this, place starch and a tablespoon of cold water in a separate small bowl. Mix everything thoroughly so that there are no lumps. Then carefully pour the finished mixture into the sauce with constant stirring. Add two pinches of salt and keep it on low heat until thickened for another 3-4 minutes.
6. When the sauce reaches a thick consistency, you can remove it from the heat. Set aside until completely cool. Afterwards, you can pour the prepared hot-sweet sauce into a separate beautiful bowl. Do not try or eat it hot under any circumstances. Otherwise, it threatens to burn you or you simply won’t like it. When cold, this easy-to-prepare Thai sauce will create a simply delicious delight.
7. Well, now let's get down to the chicken strips themselves. Be sure to rinse the chicken breast with water and pat dry with paper towels. Next, cut the meat into thick, elongated pieces.
8. It is necessary to salt and pepper future strips on both sides. Here rely on your taste sensations. Not everyone likes over-peppered or over-salted meat. And just the opposite, not everyone likes under-salted food either. Set them aside so they can be fully infused with the spices.
9. Well, now we have smoothly moved on to the next stage of preparation - breading. As recommended by Colonel Sanders, we will coat the chicken in corn flakes. Please note that the cereal should not be sweet. Now, using a bag and a rolling pin, we turn them into small chips. Then pour the crushed corn flakes into a convenient, large container.
10. Also for breading we will need two beaten eggs mixed with olive oil. And also a little flour.
11. Now let's move on to the most important stage. Dredge a piece of chicken in flour, then move it to a mixture of eggs and butter, and then send it to the corn flakes. We do the same with all other strips.
12. Place the finished breaded pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. By the way, there is absolutely no need to lubricate it with oil.
13. Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for 15 minutes. After that, we take it out and turn our chicken pieces over to the other side so that the products are baked equally. Place back in the oven and set for another 15 minutes. In this case, the breading will naturally fall off a little, but this is not scary. Everything will work out as it should, rest assured.
Well, the allotted time has passed. We take the strips out of the oven and arrange them beautifully in a heap on a saucer or whatever plate you think is suitable. The light and low-calorie sauce that we prepared at the very beginning is perfect to complement the chicken slices.
It would be very appropriate to serve fresh vegetables and herbs nearby. Cook it yourself and treat all your family and friends with delicious strips. I am sure that no one will be able to refuse such a snack with a delicious golden crust.

Chicken nuggets made from minced meat
Nuggets can be made not only from whole pieces, but also from minced meat - finely chopped fillet. It’s good to put various additives in these, for example, finely chopped herbs or grated cheese. The next recipe will be made with cheese.
Recipe Ingredients
- chicken breast - 1
- parmesan or other cheese - 50 grams
- breadcrumbs - 150 grams
- egg - 1
Cooking chicken nuggets from minced meat
Wash, dry and finely chop the chicken fillet. Beat the egg, mixing the white and yolk until smooth. Place minced meat and coarsely grated cheese in a bowl, stir.
Form into a small ball. Dip it into the egg mixture. Roll in breadcrumbs, first pouring them onto a flat plate. After flattening it, make a puck out of the ball.
When you have made all the chicken nuggets, you can start frying them in heated vegetable oil. Place the finished ones on a paper napkin and be sure to remove excess fat.
Chicken nuggets with cheese are good on their own. But you can experiment!
Tips for Cooking Chicken Nuggets with Cheese
You can make different ones at the same time, with several types of cheese - you will get nuggets of different tastes, which by appearance you will not be able to tell which one will get which.
If you use Parmesan cheese, then you do not need to add additional salt to the minced meat. When using other varieties, be guided by your taste.
There is such a nuance in chicken nugget recipes. Since the meat ball must first be dipped in liquid and then in breadcrumbs, they stick to your fingers, preventing you from rolling the next balls, so you can roll them all first and then continue processing.
Try to dip in the egg mixture with one hand and the breadcrumbs with the other - it will be easier.
