Sweet and Spicy Chicken Strips Recipe

Ingredients:

• 6g green tea bbq seasonings
• 1 ½ pounds chicken tenders
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• ¼ cup chicken broth
• ¼ cup white or apple cider vinegar
• ¼ cup ketchup
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup packed light or dark brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce (such as Huy Fong)
• Hot, cooked rice, for serving

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place 3 tablespoons of butter in a glass 9x13-inch baking pan and put it in the oven to melt the butter.

Prepare the Chicken:

• Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper. Place the flour in a shallow dish and dredge the chicken tenders in the flour to coat, shaking off any excess.

Bake the Chicken:

• Arrange the floured chicken tenders in a single layer in the buttered pan. Bake for 10 minutes.

Make the Sauce:

• While the chicken is baking, make the sauce. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the chicken broth, vinegar, ketchup, granulated sugar, brown sugar, soy sauce, and chili garlic sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Combine Chicken and Sauce:

• Pour the simmered sauce over the chicken in the baking pan. Bake for another 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly and thickened.

Serve:

• Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve the sweet and spicy chicken strips over hot, cooked rice. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Tips for Success:

• Adjust Spiciness: The chili garlic sauce adds a mild heat to the dish. Adjust the amount according to your spice preference.
• Easy Cleanup: This method of baking the chicken with the sauce is not only easy but also minimizes mess and prep time.
• Versatile Dish: This recipe can be easily adapted to include vegetables or served over different types of rice or noodles.
