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.
- Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry the chicken fingers, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer the chicken fingers to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and season with salt. Serve with honey mustard, spicy ketchup and/or ranch dressing for dipping.

REBECCA'S CHICKEN FINGERS
A friend graciously shared this recipe with me over 25 years ago, and it's probably my most requested dish. It 'travels' beautifully, so it's perfect for potlucks, tailgate parties, or that long drive to the beach. It's fairly time-consuming, but I hope you will agree that the results make it worthwhile. My apologies that some of the measurements are guesstimates, since this is a recipe that's very difficult to 'quantify'. Once you get into it, though, it's not difficult at all to figure out how much you need of any particular ingredient.

Steps:
- Rinse chicken with cold water; pat dry with paper towels.
- Cut chicken into small strips (the perfect"finger" is about two bites' worth-- and, unless you're Iron Chef, kitchen shears do the job a lot quicker than a knife).
- Pour buttermilk into a large, non-reactive container; add raw egg, stirring until well-combined.
- Add garlic powder to mixture (I don't measure, but give the container at least 5 or 6 good, hard shakes).
- Sprinkle lemon-pepper seasoning heavily over the buttermilk mixture (shake until the top is totally black).
- Stir seasonings into buttermilk and then add chicken pieces; stir again so that chicken is thoroughly coated.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- When ready to cook, pour enough oil into a heavy skillet to cover chicken pieces halfway.
- Heat to 375 degrees.
- While oil is heating, mix 1 cup flour with approximately 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Remove chicken pieces from marinade and dredge in batter to coat, replenishing batter as necessary (the buttermilk makes the flour'clump', so it's best to mix smaller amounts and add to it as you go).
- Fry chicken in hot oil until well-browned; turn and repeat, cooking on second side until done.
- Remove chicken fingers to platter or cookie sheet lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease.
- Sprinkle generously with McCormick's Season-All immediately!
- Serve hot or at room temperature.
- You can make a dipping sauce, but I never do because this one can stand on its' own!
- NOTE: If transporting for a picnic or whatever, do NOT put in closed ziplock bags while still hot (the steam will make the crust get terribly soggy!).

Tips:
- To ensure the chicken fingers are cooked through, use an instant-read thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C) before serving. - For a crispy coating, marinate the chicken in the buttermilk and egg mixture for at least 30 minutes before breading. This will help the coating adhere to the chicken and create a golden brown crust when fried. - To get the perfect crunch, double-coat the chicken fingers in the breadcrumb mixture. This will create a thicker coating that will stay crispy even after being sauced. - If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. - Serve the chicken fingers with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.Conclusion:
Rebecca's chicken fingers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or a quick weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these crispy, juicy chicken fingers at home. So next time you're craving some fried chicken, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
