Baked Crispy Chicken Fingers

A few posts ago, I mentioned that my friend MG made us chicken fingers for one of the dish for dinner.  It was baked, not fried, with no additional oil. And it was very good!!

I recently asked her for the recipe and she gave me a link to this recipe from Laaloosh but stating that she used corn flakes instead of the Fiber One cereal.

When I tried making my chicken fingers last night, I changed the recipe up a bit. The chicken I used was not the usual chicken breast but I only used the chicken inner fillet - also called chicken tenders  (the small part of the breast that is attached to the soft breast bone). See diagram below.

And here is what I used:

• chicken tenders (about a dozen pcs)
• 1 free range egg, beaten. I used the whole egg, not just the white.
• 1 cup corn flakes, in plastic bag, crushed using rolling pin. Just roll over it.
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• dash of white pepper powder

The How To:

• Preheat your oven to 220 C
• Mix the last 4 ingredients together. I kept mine in the plastic bag.
• Take a tender, dip in egg, roll in the crumbs mixture.
• Lay on a foil lined baking tray.
• Repeat with the rest of tenders.
• Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
• Enjoy!
