Tips for Making the Best Nutty Chicken Fingers:

  • Use a food processor to evenly coat the chicken tenders with the nut mixture. This will help ensure that the chicken is evenly coated and crispy.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can also use a blender or a large resealable plastic bag. Just make sure to coat the chicken tenders evenly.
  • Bake the chicken tenders on a greased baking sheet. This will help them crisp up and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Leave some space between the chicken tenders so that they can cook evenly.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken tenders. They should be cooked until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve the chicken tenders with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular choices include ranch dressing, honey mustard, and barbecue sauce.
