SPICY CHICKEN FINGERS WITH FETA/BLUE CHEESE DIP
This was a recipe I created using the Ninja's competition. Our three ingredients were; Feta, Captain Crunch Cereal & hotsauce. I was able to incorporate all the flavors so you can actually taste every component... none is overpowering but actually complement each other!!

Steps:
- 1. Start by filleting the chicken breasts. Once you have achieved 6 breasts, slice the the chicken breasts vertically into strips. Slicing them as thin or thick as you like. Place in a bowl.
- 2. To bowl add; seasonings, hotsauce and finally buttermilk. Place in fridge to marinate for approximatey 1/2 - 1 hr.
- 3. Meanwhile, as chicken tenders are marinating, prepare you dip. In a small bowl add crumbled feta, blue cheese dressing, mayonnaise, sour cream, seasonings and parsley. Combine thoroughly and pour into a pretty bowl and set in fridge to chill till ready to serve.
- 4. In a mini food processor or large one, add the 1 cup of Captain Crunch cereal and pulse till very flour like fine. Set aside. On three plates ( I used 2 shallow and 1 rimmed). To plate #1 add: 1 cup of flour, paprika and the onion powder, mix till thoroughly combined.
- 5. 2nd plate: Add the eggs and water. 3rd plate: Add the Captain Crunch Cereal, Panko bread crumbs and the other 1/2 c of flour, mix till thoroughly combined. Set aside.
- 6. At this point, the chicken tenders should be ready. Heat your deep fryer or favorite pan w/ enough oil to deep fry. Bring temp to medium high heat.
- 7. Drain the marinated chicken tenders. Using tongs or fingers. Dredge the chicken tenders, first into the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, and finally into the panko bread crumb mixture.
- 8. Add to frying pan and fry on for 4-5 minutes on each side till golden brown.
- 9. Remove to paper lined plate to drain, keep warm, and continue cooking the rest of the tenders.
- 10. Serve with dip, fresh lemon slices and sliced veggies (celery, peppers) if desired. Enjoy!!
