How to make homemade chicken fingers
We start preparing chicken breasts by cutting them into strips one cm wide. It is better to use whole chicken breasts than cut into fillets so that the fingers are rather thick as if they were fingers, where the name comes from.
As we want to make these chicken fingers for the little ones in the house, we are not going to season the chicken just with a little salt. If the children of the house were older or if we want to make a few fingers for ourselves, we can make two halves and season each one to taste.
That of the little ones will only go with a little salt and for older children and adults we can leave some pieces marinating for an hour with some sweet paprika, curry, chopped garlic, or some aromatic herbs, getting a more interesting flavor.
Once we have the chicken pieces seasoned to taste and according to our needs, we have to proceed to their empanada. For it we crush the cornflakes in a mortar and mix them equally with breadcrumbs leaving the mixture on a plate. If you can get panko, - Japanese breadcrumbs, - much better because fingers They will be more crispy.
To breach, we beat a hard-boiled egg, pass the fingers through it and then leave them on the bread plate mixed with the cornflakes, squeezing a little so that the cover sticks well. Fry the chicken pieces in hot olive oil until golden brown and we drain them on absorbent paper.
Be careful with children because homemade chicken fingers keep the temperature a long time So eating them could burn. Separate a small bowl with fried tomato sauce, mayonnaise or ketchup so that those who want to can dip their fingers in it before putting them in their mouths.
