Crispy Baked Chicken Fingers

Recipes »  Appetizers  »  Snacks for Kids

These are great with your favorite dipping sauce or in a yummy chicken parmesan sandwich. Be creative and have fun with cooking. Another benefit of these chicken fingers is that I know they are made from fresh wholesome ingredients.

"This baked version was a quick, super-easy and healthy alternative to our families usual fried chicken fingers. The coating was light and baked up crisp while the chicken remained juicy on the inside. The kids really loved them and although I thought they were somewhat bland on their own, they were quite tasty when served with our favorite dipping sauces. For my taste, I would spice up the seasoning just a bit...but, as I said, the kids really (and I mean really) loved them. Just don't overcook the fingers or chicken will dry out." - sgrishka

Crispy Baked Chicken Fingers Preparation

1.Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Add 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper to bread crumbs. Add oil and toss until crumbs are evenly coated. Spread crumbs on rimmed baking sheet and bake until golden brown and dry, about 25 minutes, stirring twice during baking time. Let cool to room temperature.

2. Cut Chicken into Finger sized strips.

3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place flour, eggs, and bread crumbs in separate pie plates or shallow dishes. Season flour with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; season bread crumbs with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add mustard to eggs and whisk to combine. Dredge 1 chicken strip in flour, shaking off excess, then coat with egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Coat all sides of chicken breast with bread crumbs, pressing gently so that crumbs adhere. Place on wire rack set over rimmed baking sheet. Repeat flouring and breading of remaining chicken breasts.

4. Bake until instant-read thermometer inserted into center of chicken (from top) registers 160 degrees, 10 to 15 minutes. Let rest 1 minutes on wire rack before serving.

    Very enjoyable... Next time I would spice it up a bit to give it a zip but other then that, very very good.

    I put my chicken a brine for 25 mins while the breadcrumbs where browning. Added chili and garlic powder to the mix. Voìla!

    i'm sorry but this recipe is amazing. I modified it by tenderizing the chicken breast with a meat tenderizing hammer before slicing it into 'fingers'. I think the other key is to properly toast the panko and to find the right salt/pepper balance (just look how the user images vary). This is the best revipe when done right. Thanks so much!

    Not sure what I did wrong, but not very flavorful. Probably won't try again.

    Very yummy! I use this as a template for many oven baked dishes, switching out binding agent or coating as situation dictates.

    So delicious! They taste like restaurant quality chicken fingers. I made them last night and they were just so good we couldn't stop talking about them! Wonderful recipe!

    Pretty decent. My favorite thing about 'Snacks for Kids' is that they sometimes double as college food. Cheap, easy, semi-healthy (or at least better for you than instant ramen). I also found it a bit bland despite my tampering with the recipe so I threw some garlic salt on them and it cleared it all up.

    these were great. My family loved them!

    Takes a long time to make if you don't have pre cut chicken and the bread crumbs aren't browned in 25 minuets.

    I'm sorry, but how can anyone say this is healthy when it says it has 1111calories and 4.3 grams of trans fats per serving?!?! There is no way I'd make these for my daughter.

    Everyone liked it. Can get creative with the breaking seasonings. It baked up crispy, but juicy on the inside.

    This was wonderful, my family really enjoyed it. I used Italian bread crumb which added good flavor
