My teenage son and daughter love chicken fingers and this is the best recipe I have found. The sauce is very similar to the kids' favorite one at a local restaurant. We will be having Chicken Fingers with Honey Mustard Sauce, Oven Potato Wedges, Seven Layer Lettuce Salad and Walnut Brownies.
Chicken Fingers with Honey Mustard Sauce
Serves 6
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halves
1 egg, beaten
1 cup buttermilk
1-1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 cup flour
1 cup bread crumbs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
oil for frying
Cut the chicken into 1/2 inch strips, place in a large resealable plastic bag. Combine egg, buttermilk and garlic powder, pour over chicken. Seal and refrigerate for 2-4 hours. In another plastic resealable bag,combine flour, bread crumbs, salt and baking powder. Drain chicken, discarding buttermilk mixture. Place chicken in the bag with the flour mixture, seal and shake to coat. In an electric skillet, heat oil to 375 degrees Fry the chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
