CEREAL CRUSTED CHICKEN FINGERS

CONTEST-WINNING CRISPY CHICKEN FINGERS

Steps:

• Combine the first 6 ingredients in a shallow bowl. In a second shallow bowl, whisk egg and buttermilk. Dip a few pieces of chicken at a time in buttermilk mixture, then in flour mixture; toss to coat., In an deep cast-iron or electric skillet, heat oil to 375°. Fry chicken, a few strips at a time, until chicken is no longer pink and crust is golden brown, 2-3 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels.

CRISPY BAKED CEREAL CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C); grease a 9x12 inch baking dish.
• Place the cereal in a large plastic zipper bag and crush the cereal into crumbs. Add the garlic salt and seasoned salt; shake the mixture together in the bag to combine. Pour the cereal crumb mixture out into a shallow bowl.
• In another shallow bowl, beat the egg with the milk. Dip each chicken breast half into the milk mixture, then into the crumb mixture, coating the chicken well with crumbs. Place the coated chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the cereal coating is golden brown, the chicken is no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

CRUNCHY GLUTEN-FREE CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Using your hands, crush the Chex into a large bowl, and add the gluten-free mix and the salt and pepper. Pour this mixture into a large roasting pan.
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, and then dump the chicken pieces into the eggs.
• Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet to 350°F. Place a brown paper bag on the counter next to where you are working so you can easily put the chicken on it to drain when you are done frying.
• One piece at a time, dredge the chicken in the flour coating. I like to really press the coating onto the chicken so it gets a super crunchy bite. Start by frying one piece at a time. Remove from the oil after 3 to 4 minutes, when the tenders are golden brown. Place on the brown paper bag. Repeat, frying no more than 4 tenders at a time.
• Serve with mashed potatoes and green beans.
