Time 25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup milk
1 pinch cayenne pepper
4 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
Vegetable oil, for shallow frying
Honey mustard, spicy ketchup and/or ranch dressing, for serving

Steps:

  • Cut the chicken lengthwise into 3/4-inch-wide strips. Put the flour in a shallow dish. Whisk the milk, cayenne, eggs and a pinch of salt and pepper in another shallow dish until combined. Put the breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.
  • Dredge the chicken fingers in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with the panko breadcrumbs, pressing to help adhere well. Set aside on a piece of wax paper or a baking sheet.

Tips:

  • Cut the chicken into even-sized strips: This will help them cook evenly. About 1-inch thick is a good size.
  • Use a flavorful breading: The breading is what gives the chicken fingers their flavor, so make sure to use a blend of spices that you enjoy. The recipe in the article uses a combination of garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, but you can also use your own favorite blend.
  • Coat the chicken strips in flour before breading: This will help the breading adhere to the chicken.
  • Shallow fry the chicken fingers in hot oil: This will give them a crispy exterior and a juicy interior. Be sure to use a heavy-bottomed skillet so that the oil doesn't burn.
  • Drain the chicken fingers on paper towels: This will remove any excess oil.
  • Serve the chicken fingers with your favorite dipping sauce: Ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce are all popular choices.
