Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk to create an egg wash.
-
In another dish, combine the chopped pecans, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Dip each chicken strip into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off.

Coat the chicken strip with the pecan breadcrumb mixture, ensuring that it is evenly coated on all sides.
-
Place the coated chicken strip on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Repeat the process with the remaining chicken strips.
-
Lightly spray the coated chicken fingers with cooking spray. This will help them turn golden brown and crispy while baking.

-
Once done, remove the chicken fingers from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
