For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure the chicken strips are relatively uniform in size to promote even cooking. Don't overcrowd the baking sheet; bake in batches if necessary to ensure the chicken crisps properly. The honey mustard sauce can also be used as a glaze during the last few minutes of baking for an extra glossy finish.
