today is throwback thursday!! i am  sharing with you today one of my favorite chicken dishes.. it's so  easy!! it's perfect for a quick weeknight meal or if you cut them up and served them as nuggets or bites they'd be perfect for football party!! :)

 

crunchy bbq chicken

prep time: 10 minutes
cooking time: 30 minutes

servings: 4-6

 

ingredients:

 

2 lbs boneless/skinless chicken tenders, thighs or breasts {i only had breasts so i used them and they were outstanding}

about a cup of honey bbq sauce {or whatever kind you like best, i used sweet baby rays}

3 cups panko breadcrumbs

1/2 tblsp. smokey paprika

2 tsp. cayenne {more if you like more heat}

salt and pepper

pam

 

extra bbq sauce for dipping and blue cheese or ranch dressing

 

directions:

 

in a flat pie dish or plate mix paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper with the panko bread crumbs and set aside.. spray a lined baking sheet with pam and heat your oven to 375 degrees (f).. brush each piece of chicken with a healthy amount of the bbq sauce then dredge through the panko and place your chicken on the baking sheet.. once they are all panko'd spray them with pam and put in the oven for about 30-40 minutes {depends on what type chicken you use and the chicken's thickness}.. be sure to flip over half way through.. pay attention you want them crispy but not rubbery.. serve immediately with extra bbq sauce and either blue cheese or ranch for dipping.. for lunch the next day i put it on little hawaiian slider rolls with extra bbq sauce.. very good..

 

enjoy and get cook'n!!
