PARMESAN-CRUSTED CHICKEN FINGERS



Parmesan-Crusted Chicken Fingers image

These Parmesan-crusted chicken fingers have all the flavour and appeal of the greasy fast-food classic but are baked using an "oven frying" technique that used hardly any oil. Adding Parmesan cheese and tangy Dijon mustard to crunchy Japanese-style breadcrumbs (panko) gives these easy-to-prepare chicken fingers a sophisticated coating the whole family will enjoy. Look for panko breadcrumbs in the Asian section of your market. For even more kid appeal, serve the chicken fingers with a homemade honey mustard sauce, or a sweet-and-sour sauce made from apricot jam, cider vinegar, salt and pepper and a drop of hot sauce.

Tips:

  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure your chicken fingers are cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. It should read 165°F (74°C) before you remove them from the oven.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Make sure there is enough space between the chicken fingers on the baking sheet so that they can cook evenly. If they are too close together, they will steam instead of bake and won't get crispy.
  • Use a wire rack: If you want your chicken fingers to be extra crispy, bake them on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. This will allow the air to circulate all around the chicken fingers, resulting in a crispy exterior.
  • Season the chicken fingers well: Don't be afraid to season the chicken fingers liberally with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce: Chicken fingers are delicious served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Baked chicken fingers are a quick and easy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great option for busy weeknights or for a fun party appetizer. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that everyone will love.
