PARMESAN-CRUSTED CHICKEN FINGERS
These Parmesan-crusted chicken fingers have all the flavour and appeal of the greasy fast-food classic but are baked using an "oven frying" technique that used hardly any oil. Adding Parmesan cheese and tangy Dijon mustard to crunchy Japanese-style breadcrumbs (panko) gives these easy-to-prepare chicken fingers a sophisticated coating the whole family will enjoy. Look for panko breadcrumbs in the Asian section of your market. For even more kid appeal, serve the chicken fingers with a homemade honey mustard sauce, or a sweet-and-sour sauce made from apricot jam, cider vinegar, salt and pepper and a drop of hot sauce.

Steps:
- Cut each chicken breast into 6 finger-sized strips, and transfer into a mixing bowl.

- Meanwhile, whisk self-rising flour and sparkling apple cider together in a mixing bowl to form a thin batter. Batter should be somewhere between a thin pancake batter and a crepe batter, but still thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Place in the refrigerator to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before using.

Cut chicken breasts in 1/2/ inch strips. Soak strips in milk then coast completely with flour mixture. Beat eggs well and coat floured chicken strips in the egg. Fry in olive oil (up to 1/2 cup) on medium high heat for 15 minutes, turning regularly until all sides are golden brown. Drain on paper towel. Serve with ketchup and cold beer. Enjoy!
Tips:
- For extra crispy chicken fingers, double-coat them in the breading mixture. Be sure to shake off any excess breading before frying.
- To make sure the chicken fingers are cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- For the best results, use fresh apples for the apple fries. Granny Smith apples are a good choice because they hold their shape well when fried.
- Be sure to slice the apples evenly so that they cook evenly. You can use a mandoline slicer to get thin, even slices.
- To make the apple fries extra crispy, coat them in a mixture of cornstarch and flour before frying.
- Serve the chicken fingers and apple fries with your favorite dipping sauce. Honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or ranch dressing are all good choices.
