- To make sure the chicken fingers are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- If you don't have any wheat germ, you can substitute bread crumbs or crushed crackers.
- For a healthier version of the ranch dipping sauce, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
- Serve the chicken fingers with your favorite dipping sauce, such as honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or sweet and sour sauce.
