This is a copycat to Planet Hollywoods Cap'n Crunch Chicken. The first time I made it, I burned it, and we could barely eat it. The second time I made it, it came out perfect and boy is it good! We enjoy ours with my homemade honey-mustard sauce. They make the best combo!

Steps:
- Crush cereal in a food processor to make fine crumbs. Place crushed cereal in a shallow bowl.
- Whisk flour, salt, and black pepper together in a shallow bowl. Beat eggs and Buffalo wing sauce together in a separate shallow bowl.
- Gently press a chicken tender into the flour mixture to coat and shake off excess flour. Dip into the beaten egg, then press into crushed cereal. Gently toss between your hands so any crumbs that haven't stuck can fall away. Place coated chicken tenders in a single layer on a plate while coating the rest; do not stack. Repeat for remaining chicken tenders.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, cook each chicken tender in hot oil, turning once, until cooked though and golden brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer cooked chicken to a plate lined with paper towels.

Tips:
- To ensure the chicken fingers are crispy, make sure the oil is hot enough before adding them to the pan. The ideal oil temperature is between 350°F and 375°F.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken fingers. This will cause the oil temperature to drop, resulting in soggy chicken.
- To make sure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F.
- For a healthier version of the chicken fingers, bake them in the oven instead of frying them. Preheat the oven to 400°F and bake the chicken fingers for 20-25 minutes, or until they are crispy and cooked through.
- Serve the chicken fingers with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include honey mustard, barbecue sauce, and ranch dressing.
Conclusion:
Cap'n Crunch chicken fingers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a tasty meal that the whole family will enjoy.
