Ingredients
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup honey
– 1 cup bread crumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Honey Crunch Chicken Fingers:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into finger-sized strips, ensuring they are uniform for even cooking.
3. Make Honey Mixture: In a bowl, combine the honey and olive oil. Mix well until combined.
4. Season Breadcrumbs: In another bowl, mix the bread crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
5. Coat Chicken: Dip each chicken strip into the honey mixture, allowing the excess to drip off. Then, coat it with the seasoned bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated chicken fingers on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.
8. Check for Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) for safety.
9. Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
With these straightforward steps, you’ll have a delicious batch of Honey Crunch Chicken Fingers ready to enjoy!
