Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Boneless skinless chicken breast or tenderloins
  • 1 cup Panko bread crumbs (or regular bread crumbs)
  • 2 Eggs (beaten)
  • 3/4 cup All-purpose flour (plus more if needed)
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • Fresh cracked black pepper (to taste)
  • Optional seasonings (crushed garlic, garlic powder, smoked paprika)
  • 1/2 cup Ketchup
  • 1/2 cup Honey
  • 1/4 cup Soy sauce (or fish sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon Chili garlic sauce (or other hot sauce, optional)
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice (or rice vinegar)
  • 1 teaspoon Cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the chicken by slicing it into strips or bite-sized pieces and seasoning with salt and pepper.
  3. Set up your breading station with flour mixture, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs.
  4. Coat the chicken in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.
  5. Bake the chicken for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.
  6. Make the sticky sauce by whisking ketchup, honey, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, lime juice, and cornstarch in a saucepan over medium heat.
  7. Simmer the sauce until thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
  8. Glaze the baked chicken with the sticky sauce and serve on a platter.

Notes

For extra crunch, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of baking. Can be served with roasted vegetables or in tacos.
