Super Moist and Tender Chicken Fingers image

These chicken fingers may not be the healthiest, but are super easy to make and turn out tender, moist and delicious! I watch 3 toddlers under 2 1/2 (including my own!) and they all devour these chicken fingers with glee. They are great served plain, cut up over salads, and in Chicken Parmesan. Also delicious reheated in the oven.

1/4 cup half-and-half
1/2 cup canola oil (for frying)
