Breaded Chicken Fingers, Strips, Tenders...

"This is a breadcrumbed coated chicken recipe, unlike regular flour fried chicken. The lemon gives a hint of zing. If you desire a more pronounced lemony flavor, add double the zest, which I prefer. Check out my sauces...Recipe #430587, recipe #391028, recipe #431929 or even recipe #449558. ."

directions

  • Put the flour, eggs and the bread crumbs each separately in 3 shallow dishes. Stir into the flour the lemon zest. Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Dip each breast into the flour, then shake off the excess. Next, run the breast through the egg to coat it lightly and hold the chicken over the liquid to let any excess drip back into the bowl. Finally, lay the strips in the bread crumbs, turn it over and press into the breading to coat. Lay on a piece of waxed paper. Repeat until all strips are coated.
  • Add the oil to a large skillet (12 inches in diameter and cast iron is best) over medium heat until hot. Lay several chicken strips in the pan. Cook the chicken without turning until nicely browned, about 3-4 minutes. Turn the chicken and cook until equally brown on the other side, about 3-4 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining strips. Transfer chicken to a paper towel lined plate to drain.

  5. Yum... That was good! Just a tip: if you think you have enough breadcrumbs, use more!!! If you don't your chicken tenders will be very oily. I enjoyed this meal. I used my own seceret sauce and it tasted awesome. I am never buying microwavable tenders again!

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
