Notes
Why Miso & Dijon
Our homemade baked chicken strips call for miso and dijon. These two ingredients are not often found in recipes. Yet, they deliver fabulous taste to chicken strips. Miso adds a great savory flavor as the chicken bakes in the oven. At the same time, the chicken is coated with a delicious dijon mixture.
Calories for chicken strips
Calories for chicken strips are determined by the ingredients and the cooking method. For instance, using honey in the chicken recipe will increase the calories. Likewise, breaded deep-fried chicken strips will have more calories than baked chicken strips. Our recipe boasts a healthy 230 calories per serving. Most other recipes are 350 calories or more.
How long to bake chicken strips
Determining how long to bake chicken strips is simple. Start by following the suggestion of whatever recipe for chicken strips you are using. OK, I will be honest…sometimes I don’t trust their recommendations. An easy rule is 20 minutes at 400F. Our spicy chicken tender recipe asks for 30 minutes at 350F. Of course, the real answer to “How long” is whatever time and temperature that will make the tastiest chicken strips.
