Food Safety

Before you start, wash all surfaces and your hands with soap and warm water, and remember to wash your hands, utensils and cutting boards after they touch raw meat or eggs. Avoid cross-contamination by using a different cutting board for your meat and other ingredients. Make sure you’re cooking to safe temperatures and chilling any leftovers within two hours.

Steps

  1. Cut chicken into chunky pieces. Toss with ¼ cup (60 mL) barbecue sauce and poultry seasoning, then lightly coat with panko crumbs.

  2. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Spray chicken with cooking spray. This will help turn it golden and crunchy. Bake in preheated 400°F (200°C) oven until juices are clear when chicken is pierced with a knife tip or meat thermometer registers 165°F (74°C), about 20 minutes. Panko crumbs don’t need to turn golden.

  3. For a dipping sauce; stir mayonnaise or sour cream with 2 Tbsp (30 mL) barbecue sauce. Serve with fresh green beans and cucumber slices or celery and carrot sticks.
