WHY!!??!!

I am making this for dinner tonight....

Chicken Strips with Honey Sauce

Ingredients

4 bone-in chicken breasts halves

1 large egg
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/4 cup fine, dry breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup honey
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce

Preparation

Remove and discard skin and bones from chicken. Cut chicken into strips.

Whisk together next 3 ingredients in a large bowl; add chicken strips, coating well. Let stand 5 minutes.

Combine sesame seeds, breadcrumbs, and garlic powder in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add chicken, seal bag, and shake to coat. Place chicken on a lightly greased baking sheet; drizzle with butter.

Broil 5 1/2 inches from heat 5 minutes on each side or until golden.

Stir together mustard, honey, and hot sauce. Serve with chicken strips.

Yield

makes 4 servings

So when I pulled out the ingredients I was a little taken aback about the bone in chicken breasts. (It was on my shopping list generated from my meal plan, so of course I bought it.) As you can see it's on the list of ingredients, but do me a favor and read the first step in the preparation and get back to me on this one folks!

WTF!!! I could have spent half the money and bought boneless/skinless AND already in strips chicken!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
