Chicken Fingers instructions
-
Turn the eye on to med low. Always heat oil very slowly and make sure oil is 350°.
-
Pour oil into a cast iron skillet. Your skillet may require more or less but make sure the oil will almost cover the tenders..
-
Beat eggs and hot sauce together. The container should be able to hold a couple tenders at a time..
-
Combine all dry ingredients in a deep plate or pan with sides. Set up a holding dish with wax paper in order to double batter..
-
once you have egg mix, flour mix, and holding dish you are ready to batter..
-
Submerge as many tenders in the egg mix as possible. (This will get really messy so I use one hand for egg dipping and transfer into flour mix. I use my other hand to flour the tenders.).
-
Remove from egg mix and place in flour mix. Coat both sides of tenders with the flour mix and then place on holding dish..
-
Continue with egg and flour coating until all tenders are in holding dish..
-
Now repeat steps 6 and 7 for the double batter. This makes for a better crunch!.
-
Once oil is hot enough place a few tenders in to fry. If oil is not hot enough the crust will be mushy. If the oil is to hot the chicken will be raw in the middle..
-
The tenders will need to fry about 5 min on each side or until the crust is browned to your liking. I like to place fried tenders on a cooling rack in a warmed oven to make sure they remain crisp..
-
Make sure the chicken is cooked and serve with you favorite dipping sauces!.
