NIF'S BAKED CHICKEN FINGERS

Provided by Nif_H

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into long 1-inch strips
1 egg white
1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
1 1/2-2 cups corn flake crumbs
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt (Hy's brand if you can get it)
1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
olive oil flavored cooking spray (it keeps saying olive oil flavoured but I use the real stuff in a spritzer) or cooking spray (it keeps saying olive oil flavoured but I use the real stuff in a spritzer)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Beat egg white and yogurt in a large bowl. Add chicken and stir to coat.
  • In a flat-ish bowl, mix together corn flake crumbs, seasoning salt and pepper.
  • Spray cookie sheet with olive oil or cover with parchment paper or nonstick foil.
  • Dunk each piece of chicken into crumbs using a fork. Arrange on cookie sheet. Spray tops with olive oil and place in oven for 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • For crispy chicken fingers on the outside and tender chicken on the inside, coat the chicken strips first in flour (for moisture absorption and to help the egg mixture adhere), then in egg (for adhesion of the bread crumbs), and finally in bread crumbs (for a crispy, golden-brown coating).
  • Use unseasoned bread crumbs for a milder flavor and seasoned bread crumbs for a more flavorful coating.
  • Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying the chicken fingers. The ideal temperature is between 350°F and 375°F. If the oil is not hot enough, the chicken will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken fingers. Give them enough space so they can cook evenly and become crispy.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • For a healthier option, bake the chicken fingers instead of frying them. Preheat the oven to 400°F and bake the chicken fingers for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through.

Conclusion:

NIFS baked chicken fingers are a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or as an appetizer for a party.
