My Own Chicken Tenders


The kids deserved a treat after behaving so well at the dentist this morning, plus the fact that they weren't able to eat breakfast before we left the house so we searched for a place to eat and since the pizza places won't be open until 11am, we ended up at Dairy Queen. Lance, who is a picky eater always pick either chicken nuggets, chicken tenders or chicken strips which are basically the same. He usually has a big bag of nuggets at home which he already finished in a span of two weeks. He said he liked the one at Dairy Queen which when I inspected were huge strips of chicken. He never really liked fried chicken but as long as it comes in the form of nuggets, strips or tenders, it's a yes for him. While he was in school, I asked hubby to fillet some chicken thighs, put them in this egg and milk mixture that I made before rolling them onto the flour (with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne and paprika). And yes, it was delicious. Lance gave my chicken tenders a passing mark :D

  1. Ooh! Liking the garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, and paprika spice combo, will keep it in mind :) There's a baked chicken fingers recipe by Elie Krieger of the Food Network that's pretty good (and super easy too). You use cereal for the coating and it's amazing how it looks fried vs. baked! Here's the link: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ellie-krieger/crispy-chicken-fingers-recipe/index.html
