Method

Chicken Fingers Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into strips, about 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beat the eggs in the second bowl, and place breadcrumbs mixed with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder in the third bowl.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken strip first in flour, then dip it in beaten eggs, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the breaded chicken strips in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Toss in Wing Sauce

    Remove the cooked chicken fingers from the oil and place them in a large bowl. Pour the wing sauce over the chicken and toss to coat evenly.

Ranch Dressing Preparation

  1. 6

    Mix Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 7

    Whisk Together

    Whisk the ingredients together until smooth and creamy.

  3. 8

    Chill

    Cover and refrigerate the ranch dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
