I just love the oyster sauce marinade which gave so much flavor to the chicken strips. I also skipped the flour and egg as I wanted the oyster sauce to come through on its own. We just loved these strips. As Papa D, I also skipped the fries as we didn't need them with our egg rolls. Thanks for sharing. Made for PAC Fall 2012 -
For this recipe I'm basically rating the chicken fingers which were excellent! The oyster sauce marinade really make these delicious. These chicken fingers had just the right amount of texture, moist and full of flavor. I didn't make the fries as I'm not a fan of baked fries. I used "Fast Food Fries" by Ore Ida. I'm giving this a 4 star rating because the instructions are confusing, basil is listed twice in the ingredients but the instructions don't say where to add the 1 teaspoon or the 1/2 teaspoon of basil also not clear as to where to use the garlic salt or the cayenne pepper. For the tenders I used the 1/2 teaspoon of basil, garlic powder in place of garlic salt in with the flour and cornstarch mixture. I also omitted the milk as I felt the oyster sauce was a good bonding agent for the seasoned flour mixture. Made for Spring of 2012 PAC.

Prior to my ever hearing about the movie Julie and Julia, realeased August, 2009, I came up with an idea to make 52 different Sunday dinners at my house over the course of one year. Present would always be my saintly common-law husband Peter, my beloved 29-year-old son Elijah and his ever-thoughtful girlfriend Sabrina carrying my precious grand-darling Arianna along with any family or close friends who happen to be in town. I only half realized the great challenge before me as I tended to eat a very limited diet on a day-to-day basis. Thanks to Recipezaar I've simplified this challenge somewhat with the ingredient search engine alone. While never copying anyone's recipe exactly, I've been inspired by the volume and variety of delicious-sounding dishes at my fingertips. I Thank all contributors for taking the time to share. I'm approaching week 34 tomorrow. Thus far, based on the kids' weekly ratings, I have two five stars!! I'll publish them soon. In the meantime, Happy Cooking!
