Provided by Ellen Bales

Categories     Chicken

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into strips
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 pkg saltine crackers, crushed
2 eggs, beaten

Steps:

  • 1. Beat the eggs in a small bowl and set aside. Place the crushed crackers into another bowl
  • 2. Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat.
  • 3. Carefully dip each chicken strip into the eggs and then into the crushed cracker crumbs. Be sure to coat well on both sides.
  • 4. Place the coated chicken strips into the hot oil.
  • 5. Turn chicken occasionally to insure browning on both sides. Cook about 20-30 minutes or until fork-tender.
  • 6. Drain on paper towels and serve.

Tips:

  • Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for the best results. Bone-in, skin-on chicken can be used, but it will take longer to cook and the skin will not get as crispy.
  • Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch strips. This will ensure that the chicken fingers cook evenly.
  • Season the chicken strips with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. This will help to add flavor to the chicken.
  • Coat the chicken strips in flour. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Dip the chicken strips in the egg wash. This will help the bread crumbs to stick to the chicken.
  • Coat the chicken strips in bread crumbs. This will give the chicken fingers a crispy coating.
  • Fry the chicken fingers in hot oil until they are golden brown. This will take about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Serve the chicken fingers with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular dipping sauces include ranch dressing, honey mustard, and barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

These crunchy chicken fingers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or potluck, and they can also be enjoyed as a quick and easy weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
