# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Combine cornflakes, paprika, garlic powder, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning in a food processor. Pulse until finely ground. Transfer to a wide shallow plate.
02 -
Whisk together eggs, water, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until blended.
03 -
Set the oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper and brush melted butter over it to coat thoroughly.
04 -
Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge thoroughly in the crumb mixture, pressing to adhere. For extra crispness, repeat dipping and coating once more.
05 -
Place coated chicken strips on the sheet pan in a single layer, spacing by approximately 2.5 cm. Lightly spray with oil. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes until golden, crispy, and internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
06 -
Remove chicken from oven. Drizzle hot honey over the strips and garnish with chopped parsley or chives if desired. Serve immediately.
07 -
Preheat air fryer to 200°C (400°F). Lightly spray the basket. Place coated chicken without overcrowding and spray top lightly. Cook 8 minutes, flip, spray again, and cook further 7 minutes until crispy and cooked through.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
For best crispiness, allow space between chicken strips while baking and ensure oil spray is applied evenly.
