Ingredients

  • 18 ounces frozen crispy chicken strips
  • 2 tbsp BBQ Sauce
  • 1/3 cup Franks Red Hot Sauce
  • 1 ½ cups brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp corn syrup
  • 1 tbsp water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F, or an air fryer to 360F
  • Bake the chicken strips on an ungreased cookie sheet at 400F for 18-20 minutes, or place the chicken strips in a single layer in an air fryer and air fry for 11-12 minutes
  • While the chicken strips are cooking, add the BBQ sauce, Franks Red Hot Sauce, brown sugar, corn syrup, and water to a medium sauce pot and heat over medium heat. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat
  • Dip the cooked chicken strips in the sauce to completely coat on all sides.
  • Serve hot with ranch or blue cheese dipping sauce
