Crunchy Chicken Strips (Oamc)

Submitted by Nancy G.

"These are simple to make and throw in the freezer for busy days. They taste best and stay crunchy if reheated in the oven. You can easily double, triple, quadruple, etc. The original recipe calls for 2 cups milk, but I use 1 cup. You may use more or less than I do. The recipe comes from 30 Day Gourmet."

my 4-yr-old DS loved these, but i didn't care much for them. DH thought they were "ok". they just tasted like chicken and corn flakes. even though i added more spices than called for in the recipe, i could barely taste anything. the problem is that the spices fall to the bottom of the corn flakes and don't get onto the chicken. i think adding spices to the chicken before coating them in corn flakes would help, but i won't be making them again. i will, however, be feeding the leftovers to my DS, who will be quite pleased with them!

Loved them! Surely a keeper, but i did add chile powder to suit our tastes. They will always have a place in my freezer! Thanks

Really enjoyed these and will be a great addition to our freezer cooking. Will probably bump up the spices next time and maybe add a little cayenne as well.

i add 1/2 cup biscuit mix (got the recipe from bisquick website) and use water rather than milk, but will try it with milk to see if it adds anything. i also add a bit of cayenne pepper. my whole extremely picky family loves it. you can also make yummy chicken sandwiches with the same recipe using whole flattened chicken breasts and frying in butter for a few minutes on each side. thanks for posting, i hadn't made this in years and will add this back to my rotation. i also would probably not have frozen, but now will so we have another premade meal!
