Chicken Fingers

This was always one of the kids favorites and through the years, I actually got all of them to help make them.  One of the kids' babysitters, Dawn used to make these for the kids from time to time and they were a huge hit!  Of course, this is the same babysitter who made Corinne eat cottage cheese and scarred her for life!  Her life was so hard.   

When all the boys were in the house, I used to use at least 3 packages of chicken tenders.  If you use more chicken tenders than 1 package, increase the rest of the ingredients accordingly.

INGREDIENTS
1 package chicken tenders, cleaned and any fat and tendons cut off
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1 sleeve crackers (I use Keebler Town House)    
Parsley, Paprika and Pepper to taste
Vegetable or Canola oil

1.  Place 1 sleeve of crackers in a plastic storage bag and roll with a rolling pin.  Mix in the Parsley, Paprika and Pepper into the cracker crumbs. Pour into a bowl or plate.


2.  Clean the chicken and set aside.
3.  Mix the egg and milk with fork in a bowl.


Love this breading set, a gift from Corinne!


4.  Heat enough oil in frying pan (about 1/4 inch) over medium heat.
5.  Dip chicken in egg mixture, then coat both sides of chicken in cracker mixture.
6.  Fry both sides of chicken tenders for approximately 2 minutes, or until golden brown.  Drain on paper towels  If you are making a lot, keep warm in oven.
