CSC (Cinnamon Sugar Cocoa) Fried Chicken Strips image

I actually came up with this standing in the kitchen, deciding on what to eat. It was phenomenal! I paired mine with bacon-seared corn and brown rice. If you need a sauce for dipping, try a sweeter sauce (caramel-infused BBQ sauce comes to mind).
