- For the filling, mix mayonnaise, BBQ Sauce, Chilli Sauce, and grated cheddar cheese. Mix it all well, fill it in a piping bag, and set it aside.
- Wash chillies and pat dry them using a kitchen cloth. Make a slit but do not cut to the end. Using the back of a spoon, carefully remove all the seeds. Pipe the mayonnaise, and cheese filling and fit chicken strips in it. Press the slit area, and clean excess filling using the tip of your finger. Coat in plain flour, whisked egg and then in breadcrumbs. Repeat the coating procedure. Fill all the chillies in the same way.
