Ranch Dipped Chicken Fingers Recipes

PARMESAN RANCH CHICKEN TENDERS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with foil (for easy cleanup, if desired); spray with nonstick spray. Set aside.
• Combine Corn Flakes, dry ranch dressing mix, and Parmesan cheese in a shallow dish.
• Place melted butter in a separate shallow dish.
• Use paper towels to pat the chicken dry.
• Working with one piece of chicken at a time, dip the dry chicken in the melted butter to coat, then dredge in the Corn Flakes mixture.
• Place the breaded tenders on the prepared baking sheet. Spritz lightly with nonstick spray or mist with oil (this helps them brown even more in the oven).
• Bake for about 14-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the coating is browned and crispy.

"FRIED" CHICKEN FINGERS WITH HERBED RANCH DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the chicken: Season the chicken breast strips with the salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the flour and toss to coat on all sides.
• In a small baking dish, combine the Greek yogurt and chipotle powder if using. Whisk to combine. In a second small baking dish, combine the breadcrumbs, garlic powder and mustard powder. Coat each chicken strip in the yogurt mixture and then the breadcrumb mixture. Place the strips on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat until all the strips are completely coated in breadcrumbs. Spray the chicken strips with cooking spray and bake until golden and crunchy and the center is cooked through, 10 to 13 minutes.
• While the chicken bakes, make the dip: Whisk together the creme fraiche, mayonnaise, lemon juice, basil, parsley, chives and thyme in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper and refrigerate until ready to serve.

RANCH CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Spray large cookie sheet with cooking spray.

DIJON, SALTINE AND WHEAT GERM CRUSTED CHICKEN FINGERS WITH RANCH DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Cut the chicken breasts on the diagonal into wide flat strips and season with salt, to taste. In a large bowl, combine the Dijon and the yogurt, toss in the chicken and stir to coat evenly.
• Pulse, pulse, pulse the crackers in a food processor until they look like fine crumbs. Add the wheat germ and toasted almonds and pulse until it is a homogeneous mixture. Put this mixture into a wide flat dish. Roll the marinated chicken in this mixture, 1 piece at a time, pressing the cracker/wheat germ mixture to evenly crust each piece. Lay the prepared chicken onto a sheet tray fitted with a rack. Baking the chicken on a rack will allow the air to circulate around the chicken to cook it evenly and make it crispy.
• Bake the chicken in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through but not dry, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the chicken from the oven to a serving platter and serve with the Dipping Sauce.
• Combine all the ingredients in a bowl.
• Dip the chicken fingers in this and say yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmyy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease baking sheet with vegetable oil.

• Bake in preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
