  1. This recipe tastes like garbage! followed the directions to the letter, this is no where close to zaxbys chicken fingers!!!
     
  2. I used to work for Zaxby's and pretty much none of these ingredients were used in making the strips
     
  3. I'm not sure who has tried this recipe but I followed each step with the exact ingredients. I crushed the corn flakes up to bread crumb consistency, and check the temp on my grease and it was on point. The cornflakes burnt within a minute of being in the fryer! They tasted horrible and burnt also. Ruined a whole pound of chicken! ?

Even though I am still young (25) Life experince has aged me alot. I learned to cook at both of my grandmother's knees (One southern American, one southern Irish) when I was about five. By ten I started collecting cookbooks and experinmenting on my own. As a latch key kid I cooked for my four younger brothers and sisters. My mom ran a small deli before she died when I was 17 so alot of my recies debuted there. Now I run my own catering Buisness. I am married to a wnderful man for five years now. I am a six year old daughter, sons who are four and three. We are also raising my 14 year old sister and nine Year old stepsister and have a 16 year old foster daughter, all of which love cooking with me. I am writing a cookbook with the hopes that when I pass I can leave my recipes for them My cookbook collection has now reached over 1200. Thank you for trying and reviewing my recipes.. <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg">
