BUFFALO CHICKEN FINGERS/ TENDERS



Buffalo Chicken Fingers/ Tenders image

This is a recipe from Silvana Nardone from the Oct 2008 Everyday with Rachael Ray magazine. It is buffalo wings without the bones. Easy to prepare but more than 15 minutes prep time stated. I served it with crudetes and ranch dip which could be used to dunk the chicken fingers in if the guests were not blue cheese fans. The sauce you drizzle was very hot so if you are not a spice fan put it on the side. Hope you enjoy. Chef DLH
