Chicken Fingers

Fried Mozzarella Sticks

Buffalo Chicken Wings

Housemade Onion Rings

Method

Chicken Fingers

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Bread the Chicken

    In one bowl, place the flour. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the bread crumbs mixed with salt and pepper. Dip each chicken strip first in flour, then in egg, and finally in breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Fry Chicken

    Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the chicken strips in batches until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Fried Mozzarella Sticks

  1. 4

    Prepare Mozzarella Sticks

    If the mozzarella sticks are soft, freeze them for about 30 minutes.

  2. 5

    Bread the Mozzarella

    Follow the same breading process as the chicken fingers: dip in flour, then egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper.

  3. 6

    Fry Mozzarella Sticks

    Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the mozzarella sticks until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Buffalo Chicken Wings

  1. 7

    Prepare Chicken Wings

    Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.

  2. 8

    Fry Chicken Wings

    Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the wings until crispy and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 9

    Toss in Buffalo Sauce

    Remove the wings from the oil and toss them in buffalo sauce until fully coated.

Housemade Onion Rings

  1. 10

    Prepare Onions

    Cut the onions into 1/2 inch thick rings and separate the rings.

  2. 11

    Bread the Onion Rings

    Follow the same breading process: dip in flour, then egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper.

  3. 12

    Fry Onion Rings

    Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the onion rings in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
