Crispy Chicken Dippers

These are my go to when I’m fresh out of ideas for dinner. We just never get bored of these homemade crispy chicken delights. They’re super easy to make and once you’ve had these at home, no other shop bought chicken dippers will ever do.

You can add as much or as little ‘heat’ to these as you like, we like ours super spicy as usual because they go great with garlic mayo or with creamy potatoes as part of a meal (You can watch how I make those here https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2ywh7z-sXGo ).

If you’re not a fan of deep frying you can simply bake the coated strips in the oven until cooked through, simply drizzle a little oil over the top and bake at 220 degrees for 25-30 minutes until they’re cooked through. They won’t be as crispy but they’ll still be delicious!
