Looking for a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that will impress your guests? Look no further than these smoky BBQ chicken strips! Made with just a few simple ingredients, these chicken strips are packed with flavor and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients (serves 4):

- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste

Cooking Tips:

- For best results, marinate the chicken strips in the BBQ sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- If you don't have smoked paprika, you can use regular paprika and add a few drops of liquid smoke to the marinade.
- To make the chicken strips extra crispy, coat them in a mixture of flour and cornstarch before frying.

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the BBQ sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken strips and toss to coat.
2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 24 hours).
3. When you're ready to cook the chicken strips, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Serve the chicken strips hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, if desired.
