Ingredients
  

  • 25- oz package frozen Tyson Crispy Chicken Strips or Just Bare brand
  • 2 T BBQ sauce
  • 1/3 c Frank's Red Hot Sauce
  • 1½ c brown sugar
  • 1 T corn syrup
  • 1 T water
  • Ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F, or air fryer to 360°F.
  • Bake chicken strips on an ungreased cookie sheet at 400°F for 18-20 minutes, or place chicken strips in a single layer in air fryer and air fry for 11-12 minutes.
