Rice Krispie Chicken Strips

As-Salaamu Alaykum,

Rice Krispie Chicken Strips: similar in style to southern fried only baked which means they are a little 'healthier'.

I made these for my 2 fussy eaters, one ate the chicken but left the potato whilst the other ate the potato but left the chicken! what they left me and 'the baby' who's nearly a toddler happily tucked into. Al hamdu lillah

The strips or 'goujons' are dipped, first in mayonnaise which keeps the chicken moist and also acts as an adhesive then in hand crushed rice krispies that soak up the lovely juices while still remaining krisp crisp, sounds deliciously simple right? it is.
