Here are the ingredients.

1. To make your own chicken fingers, first rinse the chicken breasts under cold running water and pat dry.

 

2. Working one at a time, place a chicken cutlet between two layers of plastic wrap (or wax paper).

3. With a meat pounder, pound the chicken pieces to flatten them to an even thickness.

Try to make them really thin.

4. Cut the meat into 1-inch wide strips and place the strips on a plate.

Don’t worry if your strips are not even in shape. Homemade food is not supposed to be perfect. And that’s what makes it perfect.
5. Sprinkle each strip with some salt.

6. Now set up your dredging stations: a plate with the flour that you’ve peppered and salted with about 1/2 tsp of salt, a plate with the lightly beaten eggs and a plate with the breadcrumbs.

9. …and finally coat it with the crumbs.

I usually use two forks to press the crumbs on the chicken to adhere.

10. Pour the vegetable oil into a larger frying pan, place it over a medium heat and let it heat up.

 

11. Working in batches, lay the coated meat strips in the hot pan.

I served these yummy chicken fingers with cooked potatoes.

They can also be served with some fries, over a salad or in a bun.

And, to make the things a lot more interesting, add a little ketchup, or mayo or some honey mustard sauce even.

Enjoy, dear friends!

This is good!
