Crispy Baked Buffalo Chicken Fingers Recipes

BUFFALO CHICKEN FINGERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Coat a baking sheet with a nonstick spray.
• In a bag, mix together flour, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. On a plate, mix the bread crumbs with the rest of the garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and salt.
• Shake the chicken pieces with the seasoned flour. Beat egg whites with 1 tablespoon water, and place egg mixture in a shallow dish or bowl. Dip seasoned chicken in egg mixture, then roll in the seasoned bread crumb mixture. Place on prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for about 8 minutes in the preheated oven. Use tongs to turn pieces over. Bake 8 minutes longer, or until chicken juices run clear.

BAKED BUFFALO CHICKEN FINGERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a large cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Place a raised wire rack (like a cookie cooling rack) on top of the cookie sheet and spray with cooking spray. The rack will allow your chicken fingers to cook without getting mushy, and the spray will keep them from sticking to the rack!
• Melt butter in a bowl in the microwave, then combine with the buffalo wing sauce and mix well. Remove 2 Tablespoons of the sauce and set aside to reserve for topping the chicken fingers later.
• Place the panko breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl. In another separate shallow bowl, stir together the flour, garlic salt, paprika, and pepper to taste.
• Dredge the chicken tenderloins in the flour, then dip into the buffalo sauce mixture. Next dip into the panko breadcrumbs and coat well, pressing the panko into the chicken. Place each tenderloin on to the prepared wire rack.
• Spray the tops of the chicken with oil or cooking spray, then bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. Flip the chicken fingers and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove from the oven, and drizzle a small amount of the reserved buffalo sauce over the tops of each chicken finger, about 1 teaspoon each. Serve with bleu cheese dip, celery, and carrots. Enjoy!

CRISPY BAKED BUFFALO CHICKEN FINGERS

Steps:

• If using chicken breasts, pound down and cut into strips.
• Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
• Place the corn flakes, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika into a food processor (you can do this in stages if the processor isn't large enough). Pulse 4-5 times until the cereal is broken down. Not completely crushed; some larger pieces can remain. Pour into a large bowl. Place the flour into a separate bowl. Then in a third bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together.
• Coat each chicken strip in flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip in egg mixture and let any excess drip off. Then generously roll in the corn flakes, shaking off any excess. Place the chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 10 minutes. Turn each piece over and continue baking until the outside is crisp and the centers are cooked through, about more 10 minutes. Baking times may vary, just make sure the chicken is cooked through by cutting into a thick piece. If you like them browner, bake a couple minutes longer. Careful, you don't want to dry out the chicken inside.
• Allow to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet (we usually make the blue cheese sauce during this time), then carefully place the chicken fingers into a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce on top and gently stir to coat. Taste and add more sauce if desired. Serve warm with blue cheese dipping sauce.
• Stir sauce ingredients together in a small bowl and serve.
• Leftover chicken fingers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat in the microwave or for 10-12 minutes in a 350°F (177°C) oven.
