How it goes
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In a second bowl, whisk the beaten eggs. Place the crushed cornflakes in a third bowl.
Pat the chicken pieces dry, then dredge each piece in the flour mixture, dip in the egg, and coat with crushed cornflakes, pressing gently to adhere.
Arrange the coated chicken pieces on a parchment‑lined baking sheet, lightly spray with cooking spray, and bake for 15–18 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and cooked through.
While the chicken bakes, whisk together sweet chili sauce, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, and minced garlic in a small bowl to make the glaze.
In another bowl, combine Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, ranch seasoning, water or milk, lemon juice, and black pepper; whisk until smooth to create the high‑protein ranch.
Serve the hot chicken bites drizzled with the sweet chili glaze and accompanied by a dollop of the ranch dressing.
