RESTAURANT-STYLE FRIED CHICKEN FINGERS (OVEN-BAKED OPTION)



Restaurant-Style Fried Chicken Fingers (Oven-Baked Option) image

Make these as spicy as desired by adjusting the cayenne peppe, you may use your own favorite seasoning for the breading mixture --- plan ahead the chicken needs to marinate for 3-4 hours, I have listed oven-baking instructions on the bottom of the recipe -- if you are making these for a small crowd I strongly suggest to double the recipe these will be gone in a flash they are so good, serve with honey mustard dipping sauce :)

OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN FINGERS

For me, this is a dead ringer for fried chicken strips! I love how quick and easy this comes together, and how I don't have to fiddle with frying chicken on the stovetop. And if you're not using parchment paper, YOU ARE A CRAZY PERSON. I despise scrubbing pans so parchment is a life-saver and makes clean-up a breeze!
