Chicken Fingers Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    Cut chicken breasts into finger-sized strips.

    Dip each chicken strip first into the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

    Carefully add chicken strips to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 6

    Buffalo Sauce

    In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in hot sauce until well combined. Remove from heat.
