You can go out for these chicken strips, or you can make our version of these at home.  These are easy to make with a little elbow grease.  You can make these up fresh for a ball game, tailgate party, or even a family night in.  Rather than buying a big batch of these, you can make a large batch of these at home.  In this recipe we have you making battered chicken strips, and then we add a few extra ingredients to BBQ sauce that you can find in the grocery store.  We think that you will find that these taste very close to the original.

      You can do either but buying the breast’s skinless and boneless will give you more chicken. They charge extra per pound to cut it for you.
