These Crunchy Chicken Strips are going to be your new favorite way to eat chicken!!
Today I am going to share with you an amazing recipe that everyone in your family will love!! Even the picky ones!!
My kids love cereal and would eat it morning, noon and night. My boys look forward to having a bowl in the morning, it really helps them wake up with a smile!
I got to thinking about how good a bowl of cereal is for dinner sometimes on those days I am too exhausted to cook, and then my mind wandered to other ways we could have cereal for dinner and that is how I came up with these Honey Chicken Strips.
They are so easy to make!! You just crush up those delicious Golden Honey O’s and roll your chicken in them and fry! I serve with honey mustard on the side and a simple salad and dinner is done!!
I get in and out the kitchen in no time and the kids get their two favorites for dinner, cereal and chicken strips!! What could be better!?

How to make these crunchy chicken strips

You can!! Add a little hot sauce or spicy mustard to the egg mixture or a little garlic to the cereal mixture to change up the flavor!

Just spotted this recipe and thought about making it ‘Gluten Free’. I’m a Coleliac ‘Nana’ – living in UK – and I’ve got a box of this cereal in my cupboard.
I’m certain that this will go down very well indeed next time I’ve got grandchildren staying over – though I may need to substitute a different ‘dipping sauce’ for the children’s tastes.
Should have stated that my cereal is the Gluten Free version of this.
This sound really good quick and easy i have printed it off Thank You for sending this!
