Chicken Fingers

Honey Mustard Sauce

Method

Chicken Fingers

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into strips about 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set up a Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, whisk the eggs in the second bowl, and combine the breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in the third bowl.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip first in the flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Set aside on a plate.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully place the breaded chicken strips in the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

French Fries

  1. 6

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then cut them into thin strips for fries.

  2. 7

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep fryer or a large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  3. 8

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the potato strips to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then season with salt.

Honey Mustard Sauce

  1. 9

    Mix the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine honey, Dijon mustard, and mayonnaise. Stir until smooth and well blended.
