Set up your breading stations. In the first bowl, combine the 2 cups of all-purpose flour with your chosen spices and salt to taste. Mix these ingredients thoroughly. In the second bowl, whisk the 4 eggs. In the third bowl, add the 3 cups of plain cornflakes and crush them into smaller pieces.

Take each chicken strip and dredge it first in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Tap off any excess flour. Then, dip the floured chicken strip into the whisked egg, allowing any excess egg to drip off. Finally, coat it thoroughly in the crushed cornflakes, pressing gently to ensure the cornflakes adhere well to the chicken.

Place the coated chicken strips onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Use an oil sprayer to lightly spray the chicken strips with cooking oil. This will help them crisp up in the oven.

Bake the chicken strips for approximately 12 minutes at the highest temperature your oven provides. Halfway through the baking time (around 6 minutes), flip the strips to ensure they cook and crisp evenly on both sides. Keep a close eye on them as baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven. The strips should be golden brown and fully cooked through but not dry. To check for doneness, you can cut one open to ensure there is no pink meat inside. Avoid overcooking to maintain moisture.

Once the chicken strips are cooked, remove them from the oven. Lightly coat them with sweet chilli sauce. Do not drown them in sauce; a light coating is sufficient for flavor.
