Chicken Fingers Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into strips, roughly 1 inch wide, and set aside.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Stations

    In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In another bowl, beat the egg. In a third bowl, add the breadcrumbs mixed with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken strip in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it in the beaten egg, then coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat until all chicken strips are breaded.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat the cooking oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken strips. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Fries Preparation

  1. 5

    Cook the Fries

    In a separate pot or fryer, cook the frozen French fries according to the package instructions until golden brown and crispy.

Serving

  1. 6

    Toss Chicken in Sauce

    In a large bowl, toss the fried chicken fingers with the buffalo sauce until evenly coated.

  2. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the chicken fingers in a basket or plate alongside a generous serving of crispy fries.
