These were really delicious.Next time I will read some reviews and try getting tips from there. The chicken strips were not crunchy after baking them with the sauce.Maybe I put too much sauce or I should have reduced the baking time I don't know....Will definitely keep this recipe as I liked the flavor so much really tasty and well worth to try for anyone thinking about it.Thanks.

These were a huge hit with the kids! Like other posters, I had no buttermilk so substituted regular milk with a splash of vinegar. Also, I brushed the strips with sauce rather than dipping, they were wonderfully crunchy/sticky and the contrast in texture was perfect. I made half with barbecue sauce as directed and half with buffalo sauce, and pleased everyone in the house. I added 2 chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce to the barbecue sauce--my family loves chipotle--and it couldn't have been better. Great recipe!
