Tips:

  • To make the chicken fingers extra crispy, double coat them in the flour mixture and panko breadcrumbs, making sure to press the coating firmly onto the chicken.
  • For the best results, use a deep fryer or a large pot filled with oil to fry the chicken fingers. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • To make sure the chicken fingers are cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have apple cider vinegar, you can substitute it with white vinegar or lemon juice.
  • For a healthier version of the apple fries, bake them in the oven instead of frying them.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Crispy Chicken Fingers with Ontario Apple Fries is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a fun party appetizer. The chicken fingers are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, while the apple fries are sweet and tangy.
