1-Gathering and Prepping Your Ingredients: Start by getting all your ingredients ready, as this sets the stage for smooth cooking. Follow the directions from the recipe summary to cut and season the chicken properly. This step ensures everything goes together without any hitches.

2-Gathering and Prepping Your Ingredients: Cut the chicken breasts into small cubes as directed. Then, season them with salt and a little sugar before refrigerating for about 30 minutes to keep the pieces firm.

3-Mixing the Coating and Batter: Once the chicken is chilled, prepare the dry and wet mixtures. In a bowl, combine 1 ½ cups flour, 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons garlic powder, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 ½ teaspoons salt, and 1 ½ teaspoons pepper.

4-Mixing the Coating and Batter: In another container, whisk together 1 ½ cups milk and 2 eggs. This creates a simple batter for the perfect coating.

5-Coating and Baking the Chicken: Now, coat the chilled chicken pieces first in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg and milk mixture, and coat again in the flour mixture for extra crunch. Spray a sheet pan with cooking spray and arrange the pieces evenly.

6-Coating and Baking the Chicken: Spray the tops with cooking spray as well. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through after 7 to 10 minutes and spraying again for even crispiness.

7-Checking for Doneness and Serving: Bake until the chicken hits an internal temperature of 165 degrees for safety, resulting in a crispy, golden-brown exterior. Tips like flipping halfway enhance the texture, and you can pair it with sauces such as BBQ or ranch.
