Instructions
1. Marinate the chicken (optional but worth it)
• Toss chicken strips with 1 tbsp olive oil, ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp paprika, and ½ tsp garlic powder.
• Let sit for 15–30 minutes while you prep the coating. (This step boosts flavor inside the chicken.)
2. Set up the breading station
• Bowl 1: Flour, all seasonings.
• Bowl 2: Beaten eggs + water/milk.
• Bowl 3: Panko + Parmesan + 2 tbsp oil, mixed well.
3. Bread the chicken
• Dredge in seasoned flour → dip in egg → coat in panko mixture.
• Press crumbs on gently so they stick.
4. Bake
• Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Spray tops lightly with oil.
• Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 18–22 minutes, flipping halfway.
• They’re done when golden, crisp, and 165°F inside.
5. Make the sauce
• Mix all comeback sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Adjust to taste — more lemon for tang or more hot sauce for spice.
6. Serve
• Serve the hot, crispy chicken fries with the comeback sauce for dipping.
