BUFFALO CHICKEN FINGERS/ TENDERS
This is a recipe from Silvana Nardone from the Oct 2008 Everyday with Rachael Ray magazine. It is buffalo wings without the bones. Easy to prepare but more than 15 minutes prep time stated. I served it with crudetes and ranch dip which could be used to dunk the chicken fingers in if the guests were not blue cheese fans. The sauce you drizzle was very hot so if you are not a spice fan put it on the side. Hope you enjoy. Chef DLH

- Use a good quality breadcrumb mixture. This will help to create a crispy coating on the chicken fingers. You can use a store-bought mixture or make your own.
- Season the chicken fingers well. Use a variety of spices and herbs to create a flavorful coating. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken fingers. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Serve the chicken fingers with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular choices include ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, and honey mustard.
