Tips:

  • To make the chicken fingers extra crispy, double-coat them in the flour mixture and egg wash before frying.
  • If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, you can use regular breadcrumbs or crushed cornflakes.
  • Be sure to use a neutral-flavored oil for frying, such as vegetable oil or canola oil.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken fingers. This will cause them to steam instead of fry and they won't be as crispy.
  • Cook the chicken fingers until they are golden brown and cooked through. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Serve the chicken fingers with your favorite dipping sauce. The two dipping sauces in this recipe are a classic sweet and sour sauce and a spicy mayo sauce.

Conclusion:

These sesame chicken fingers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or potluck, and they can also be served as a quick and easy weeknight meal. The chicken fingers are crispy and flavorful, and the two dipping sauces add a delicious finishing touch. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, give these sesame chicken fingers a try!
