Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 fryer, cut up (enough for 4 people)
3 tablespoons lite olive oil or 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
salt & pepper
1 quart whole milk (do not use 2%)

Steps:

  • That's all!
  • Put the oil in the bottom of a larger saucepan (so it will hold the chicken in one layer), brown on all sides until it is golden all over. Pour off any excess oil.
  • Salt & pepper generously.
  • Pour in enough milk to cover the chicken pieces.
  • Simmer on low heat, uncovered until the chicken is cooked and fork tender, approx. 30 minutes.
  • The milk should have cooked down so it is like gravy.
  • Serve.

Tips:

  • For extra crispy chicken fingers, double coat them in the breadcrumb mixture. Press the breadcrumbs firmly onto the chicken to ensure they adhere properly.
  • Use panko breadcrumbs for a lighter, airier texture. Regular breadcrumbs will also work, but they may not be as crispy.
  • You can use any type of milk in this recipe, but buttermilk will give the chicken fingers a slightly tangy flavor.
  • If you don't have any cooking spray, you can grease the baking sheet with a little bit of oil.
  • Bake the chicken fingers until they are golden brown and cooked through. This will usually take about 20 minutes, but the cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken fingers.
  • Serve the chicken fingers with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, ranch dressing, or honey mustard.

Conclusion:

These baked chicken fingers are a healthier alternative to traditional fried chicken fingers. They are crispy, juicy, and flavorful, and they can be made in just a few simple steps. So next time you're craving chicken fingers, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
